Rihanna Smiles with her Hands


Rihanna shows off her smiley faced finger nails backstage at Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball held at the 02 Arena Docklands on Wednesday in London, England.
Uhmmm.....really Rih??? Those things are hideous but I know somebody headed right out to Mei Ling and them to get those smilies put on their acrylics. But... hair and make up are flawless!!

Come Out With it Already Mariah


Sources are saying that Mariah Carey-Cannon (or whatever) has canceled her upcoming tour. According to the New York Daily News, "Costume designers and dancers were all called Wednesday and told the tour is off. Most were hysterically crying because they were relying on her for a paycheck this holiday season."

Nickariah have already said that if she became preggers they would keep it a secret and it seems shes doing her best and just that.

I wish she would just come on out with it already instead of ruining the holidays for the 'starving artists' whose husbands cant afford to buy them a multi million dollar vacation home.

Chris Brown Got Milk


Chris Brown is the latest celeb to dawn the Got Milk? ads. Shown above, his ad reads:
“Chris Brown feat. Milk. Another great collaboration? Milk. Some studies suggest that teens who drink milk tend to be leaner and the protein helps build muscle. So eat right, exercise and drink lowfat or fat free milk. Talk about a smooth move.”

His face looks a little Joker from The Dark Knight -esque.. but otherwise I can dig it.


What you think of the ad?

Usher's New Baby Whatshisname


Usher and his wife Tameka Raymond welcomed a new little boy into their home on Wednesday @ 2:33am. Weighing in at 5 lbs and 13 oz little baby boy was welcomed by two glowing parents. It is said that Ush stayed by his wife's side the entire time.
The name of the baby had not been released but has now surfaced.
Naviyd Ely Raymond
Uhmm......I'm not even sure what that says or what it means. But anyways, does Ush like being a dad. He says he's "Loving it. Loving every aspect of it. My life improved so much in having a child," he said. "I'm very happy. It's a very promising thing to have a child."
Congrats to the Raymonds...even though most people have no clue how to say your baby's name

(I'm glad I was able to find a pic where Tameka isnt scowling. Smile girl.. it cant be all THAT bad)

MJ Selling 'Bily Jean' Glove


Michael Jackson's glittery glove, along with 2000 of his other personal belongings, will b e going up for auction early next year. The merchandise will be a part of a 5-day auction by Juliens Auctions. Mike's things will be on display beginning Apr 29 2009 and bids will be taken both in person and online.

Proceeds ( a portion that is) will be donated to MusiCares, a non-profit for struggling musicians. I'm not sure who will be buying this stuff but all of you nostalgic folks out there who long for the re-bleached and scalpeled Mike... looks like this is as close as you'll get to him.

DMX Arrested....Again


Rapper DMX is locked up again after being picked up by the fed for skipping out on a court appearance.
He was due in court Friday but was picked up on Tuesday after an Arizona judge issued a warrant for his arrest for his inattendance. He is being held at the Miami-Dade county jail but will be returned to Phoenix where he is being charged with drug possession, identity theft and animal cruelty. DMX plead not-guilty to those charges but has said to be in and out of rehab.

Whatever D...Can you say 'clank clank'??

Toni has Tumor Removed


Toni Braxton finally comes out with why she did not dance in the 'Dancing with the Stars' finale. She had a benign tumor removed from her breast the day before the show aired. Seems Toni knew about the tumor but decided not to schedule the surgery until she was eliminated from the show on Oct. 20.
She tells Us Weekly magazine in its issue out Friday: "Getting the boot on the show was actually a blessing in disguise for me. My grandmother on my dad's side died of breast cancer, and I have aunts on both sides that have breast cancer."
Toni's rep's say she is recovering smoothly and will join the rest of the cast on the 'Dancing with the Stars Tour' which begins Dec 17 in San Diego.

Fantasia house in foreclosure


Fantasia's $1.1 million dollar home in Charlotte is going into foreclosure for non-payment of back taxes.
According to Fox News, court documents obtained Tuesday show one of Barrino's houses in Charlotte will be up for auction in January following apparent struggles to pay taxes in 2006. The home is valued at $1.1 million
Fanny wont be homeless though -- she still owns a smaller home in the same city. No one from Fanny's camp will comment but it seems that thsi is just a nice little reality check that celebs(and that term is used loosely) are not ineffected by our current economic status.
Clearly... life is still not a fairy tale for Fanny.

'Notorious' - The Biggie Biopic

Big Poppa is back-- and totin Lil Poppa with him. Biggie's son Christopher Walace Jr joins him on the remake of 'One More Chance' for the soundtrack of the upcoming film 'Notorious'. The movie due on Jan 16 is according to Diddy, Big's longtime friend and partner in the rap game, is "a mother's story," he explained. "[Big's] mother is the driving force of the movie getting done. I wanted the movie to speak for itself, so I haven't been out there overhyping it. But truth be told, I was blown away by the movie. I was entertained by the movie. The movie is what was happening. Can't no critics speak on it. I'm telling you, that's my life right there. That's what it was. That's what was happening."


Paired with the accurate portrayal of his life's happeneingis the heart of all that was Christopher Wallace. Though the circumstances surronding his untimely death have yet to be uncovered, his legacy is one that continues to live on.

What you think?...think the movie will be a hit??

Check the video below of Diddy talking with MTV about the movie





Hill Harper on Barack Obama

click here to see the video

Because I love me some Hill Harper, and I love love me some Barack Obama (Obama 08!!) -- I thought it would be most appropriate to let you guys see what Hill thinks of Barack (his former classmate, fyi) when he spoke one on one at the grand opening of the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills

Diddy Ditches the Bling


For the sake of us common folk, Diddy has opted to dress "less flashy" in an attempt to not throw his wealth in the faces of people who are stricken by our current economic crisis.
He tells Page Six mag "Out of respect, I’ve been trying to dress less flashy. It’s one thing to be stylish; it’s another to be over-the-top. You gotta know when to hold back and not rub it in."
Seriously Diddy.... no matter how you dress we still know your still a multi-million dollar entreprenuer/mogul. Its a good chance your probably knot hob-nobbing with us common folks anyways, so its not like you need to fit in. But -- even in the midst of my rant, I applaud your efforts.
.....if the above pic taken on Thanksgiving Day is any indication on how you will be dressing in the future -- were not doing all that bad!!

Mariah Fuels the Preggo Rumors

Mariah Carey was seen coming out of a well-known ob/gyn office on Crecent Blvd in LA -- the same OB that Minnie Driver was said to have seen when she was expecting.

Sources tell Page Six that same out of the office "clutching what looked like a sonogram and being greeted by her entourage with cheers. She was ebullient."
She's constantly being asked about when her little Nickariah bundle of joy is coming but she responds by saying, "People are constantly asking me if I'm pregnant, but I don't like to talk about it too much. I just think about it as the next phase. We'll see."
From all the photos I've seen as of late with her looking a little glowy and little chubby in the face - then her refusing the champagne during her recent appearance on The Ellen Show, is hard to think she may not be pregnant.
I'll tell you what -- that'll be one cute kid.
What you think... you think Nickariah are expecting??

Tasty Video: Mariah Carey

Mariah's video for 'The Right to Dream' the signature song from her upcoming movie 'Tennessee' premiered last night. Mariah co-wrote the cut with legend Willie Nelson specificially for the movie which premieres last this month.

Definitely not the best we've seen from her and its still definitely keeping up with the lackluster vocal performance we have grown to expect from the aging Carey. I think the movie looks kind of interesting though -- kind of.

Check the video---

Newly Leaked: Keyshia Cole feat Lil Wayne 'I Love You'


Wayne has coaxed Keyshia Cole into doing a remake of one of her musical idols, Mary J. Blige. Here they cover her classic 1994 hit 'I Love You'

I think this song was done fabulously. Key and Weezy have that mix that's just gritty and raw. I'm feelin it.
What you think of the track? Taste it or toss it..
