The daughter of Rev. Run , Vanessa Simmons , is expecting her first child!! Vanessa announced the news via her Instgram account with a little repost assistance from younger sister Angela Simmons today. Last I knew before she dropped off the face of the Hollywood planet, Vanessa was dating the son of Damon Wayans , Mike Wayans , so I assumed him and I was right. So happy!!!

NEW COUPLE ALERT: Sanaa Lathan and Colin Kaepernick?

Image
After reading the photo captions on the below photo posted on both   Sanaa Lathan and Colin Kaepernick 's Instagram pages I would have to say Yes these two are definitely dating.,,plus the close proximity of the photo. Sanaa chose the simple yet gushy caption: " xoxo " While Colin was straight to the point: " This !" Sanaa is a beautiful mature woman with more than enough of her own (and her daddy's) and Colin seems like a cool kid...I could see these two working.

Kim Kardashian and Andre Leon Talley Do Lunch

Image
I guess now that Kim Kardashian is no longer on Anna Wintour's shit list and the baby mama of Kanye West she is something like fashion royalty by association having just lunched with the Vogue magazine's legendary contributing editor Andre Leon Talley,  who didn't always seem to be a fan of Kim , while in Paris for fashion week. These two look as cozy as two gal pals catching up in the city of love. I don't think I've ever seen Kim look so pretty and happy without clumps of make up on accompanied by some gaudy ass outfit than I did in Paris. I've always wondered who had the great occupation of taking Kim's personal (IG) photos... Real local like...is Kim getting ready for a move? I want go as far as to credit Kanye West for this new Kim but I will cite motherhood. Although Kim's infant daughter didn't make it with her parents to fashion week she was obviously on Kim's mind and close to her heart. Pics: Paci

GIRL POWER: MC Lyte Honored AT 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards

Image
MC Lyte , who typically announces awards at BET awards shows nowadays, was honored this weekend at the 8th annual BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta with the I Am Hip Hop Award . I've looked and must say BET is doing a great job at keeping the video footage under wraps until the show premieres Tuesday, October 15. I look forward to seeing a pioneer in hip hop such as Lyte, who was the frst female rapper to release a full hip hop album in 1988, being honored and saluted by Queen Latifah and handed her award by Eve . Congrats!!

YAY OR NAY: Ciara In Givenchy

Image
Ciara opted against attending the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards this weekend in her hometown of Atlanta with rapper boyfriend Future to attend Paris fashion week and rub shoulders with the likes of Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Kanye West . Ciara has been seen parading around Paris in very high end looks over the weekend including the below Givenchy number. Although I typically love Ciara in most of her Givenchy looks I am on the fence with this look coupled with the sheer panel skirt. Yeah I don't like it, but because CiCi look so gawjus I will give her a complimentary YAY .

Kanye West Has A New Attitude In Paris

Image
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian jetted off to Paris late last week for fashion week but not before a bit of controversy . As Kimye tried to depart Kanye's home at 4 am the rapper was confronted by a few photogs on his property. After a few not so nice pleasantries Kanye and his baby mama were off to Paris. Ironically while in Paris Kanye and Kim were spotted multiple times in the streets as well as attending the Givenchy show (courtesy of Riccardo Tisci I'm sure) with Givenchy lover Ciara . But it wasn't their spottings that's making all the headlines today but rather rare footage of Kanye speaking calmly and even praising Paris paps. Kanye is so full of pretentious shit. These ups and downs are so alarming....

Keshia Nicole Accepts New '106 & Park' Gig

Image
Things have been shaky around BET's 106 & Park for a while now with the release of  last year's new co-hosts leaving Bow Wow all by his lonesome to hold the show down. Things looked to be heading in the right direction over the summer when Bow's ex Angela Simmons became a fixture on set only to find out she would only be an interim host for the summer. Now that summer is over a new host has been announced and she's no stranger to the BET fam. Keshia Chante is a Toronto native singer ("Does He Love Me?") with personal ties to fellow Canadian Drake who helped Keshia make the big announcement last week during a visit to the show. Keshia has been filling in for Simmons while she was absent from the show and obviously made a great impression on show producers and viewers. She's a pretty girl. Hopefully the show will serve as a tool to advance her singing career as well.

Evelyn Lozada's name has been buzzing within these last few weeks.

Being the hot commodity that she is Evelyn sits down with Sway to discuss her cast mates, most notably Tasha Marbury , her failed marriage, what she's working on these days including her book and new fitness venture.

Looking great, Mo! The above photo was taken on the same day Monica and T.I. accompanied their kids on a school field trip. "Me & My Family  @troubleman31 .... Nothing comes before family !!! Class field trip for Romelo & Major💙 @majorgirl  we missing u!!!!" - MB

VIDEO: Evelyn Lozada Says SHE Carried 'Basketball Wives' For Five Seasons

Image
Evelyn Lozada chatted with Huff Post Black Voices earlier this week where she announced that this season would be her final season on Basketball Wives (ratings or by choice?) and that she would like to have her own show. But Ev didn't just say that.... “I’m in a different space. I have so much other things going on. I had my own show before, unfortunately it was cancelled due to the incident. But I know I can carry my own show. Pretty much carried this one . So I feel like, we’ll see.” - EL Although I do believe the show would crumble without Evelyn much of her star power was brought on by punk ass bitches that let her check them which in turn I believe made great entertainment. But FYI Miss Lozada , no one wants to see you cool, calm and collected... and definitely not just ALL you for 30 minutes.

Did Kim Kardashian Call The Paps on Kanye West?

Image
I don't know what the hell is wrong with Kanye West but once again he is intertwined in some altercation with the paparazzi. Kanye West  went nuclear again on the paparazzi -- but this time Kanye has good reason to be pissed. Kanye was at his bachelor pad at 4 AM, when several photogs (not TMZ) approached him as he was getting in his car to leave .... and asked about his feud with  Jimmy Kimmel . It appears  Kim  is also there.  Sources say he and Kim were on their way to the airport with the final stop -- Paris. Take a look at the video.  An infuriated Kanye lunges at the photog but it does not appear there is any physical contact. It looks as if the photogs are standing on his driveway -- which is a trespass. Watch the explicit video footage HERE . How in the fcuk did they know he was leaving out at 4 am in the morning? Sounds to me like they were called.  Yeah she was there... And any man or woman that tries to come after you while a garage door is slowly c

VIDEO: Floyd Mayweather Confirms He Is Still Engaged

Image
Just when all clues pointed towards splitsville Floyd Mayweather confirms he is still in fact engaged to Shantel Jackson during an interview with Howard Stern all while setting his sights on Miley Cyrus . Is Floyd Mayweather Selling His (Ex?)Fiance's Belongings? Floyd Mayweather's Baby Mama Upset Over Daughter's Fight Outfit So after all the catty Instagram posts, flaunting of flocks of women (" employees ") on cable television, gold digger allegations and pure stupid shit Floyd credits Shantel as still being his fiance that he plans to marry...no time soon.

KANYE RANT: Kanye West Is NOT Happy With Jimmy Kimmel

Image
Keeping up with his egotistical attitude Kanye West has once again went on one of his infamous Kanye rants this time with Jimmy Kimmel bearing the title as his muse. As you know I've been posting videos of Kanye's UK interview with Zane Lowe that I can only describe as bizarre all week. Yesterday along with Part 3 of the interview I posted a spoof that Jimmy Kimmel televised on his late night talk show mocking the rapper during the interview which quickly sent Ye on a Twitter rampage against Jimmy. Does Kanye realize that he's jeopardizing his career at this point? Yes he's a musical genius in my opinion, but his recent behavior, along with unfortunately his personal life, is distracting from his talents. With a major  tour approaching on the heels of the not so well accepted Yeezus album you'd think he'd calm his ass down and focus on what really matters (getting his fans in the building) but he's too occupied with what people think of
