Zendaya Drops Out Of Aaliyah Biopic

Image
After all the well wishes from fans/supporters and rejections from the Aaliyah Haughton 's family over the past two weeks Zendaya Coleman has opted out of the role of Aaliyah for Lifetime's biopic film Aaliyah: R&B Princess . The news has been confirmed by Lifetime as well as Zendaya who spoke out about her decision on the red carpet at the BET Awards last night in LA. We are sad Zendaya will no longer portray Aaliyah. Production is currently on hold. — LifetimePR (@LifetimeTV_PR) June 29, 2014 "I felt like something with the production [wasn't] all the way there, the project wasn't all the way there," she said. "If I'm going to do something for someone I care about so much, I have to do it the right way."    "I just felt that because I love her, and because I respected her so much as an artist, I don't want to do anything that's half or anything that's less for her," Coleman said.  This was a great d...

R.I.P. Bobby Womack

Image
Legendary soul singer Bobby Womack passed away Friday (June 27) at the age of 70. The news was confirmed by Womack's publicist Sonya Kolowrat but the cause of death has yet to be released. I have a soft spot for Mr. Womack's music. So much so that I don't care to share too much about what he/his music means to me but to simply highlight that I am a tremendous  fan of the man's work. RIP Mr. Womack!! I type this with the utmost sincerity and know that your music will live on far beyond many of our memories and imaginations.

Kim Kardashian Gives Classy Side Boob During Lunch Date

Image
As if anyone could... I want to love this matronly (to Kim only) look but the side boob is giving me mixed emotions. Love the skirt and the leotard I just don't know how I feel about them together. Obviously Kim thought this outfit was a go to be photographed in while having lunch with her equally only fashionable during pregnancy sister Kourtney Kardashian while filming in the Hamptons. I think I like this look on Kimmy. I sense the reluctant will to recreate her image while keeping her scantily clad fashions somewhere in the mix.

Ciara Covers Brides Magazine

Image
I didn't know Ciara was really getting married. Like really to the point someone would put her on the cover of a magazine devoted to all things wedding... like really . I guess the 15 ct engagement ring kinda sorta solidifies things. Inside the magazine CiCi talks wedding details, love and motherhood among other topics of choice. Wedding style: "My everyday style is what I call 'tomboy chic,'" Ciara tells us. "But for my wedding, I'm going to do elegance with a little edge."  Realizing Future was thee ONE: "Very early on. He came with something that I'd never felt before: the true presence of a man." For more wedding deets you will have to grab a copy of Brides when it hits stands July 8...I know I will. Source

VIDEO: Chris Brown Spotted Being Carried Out Of Club

Image
It looks like Chris Brown may have partied a little too hard after the BET Awards last night in LA. I'm not going to speculate what caused Chris to be carried out of the club. I'm concerned about the recent revelation that he is/was bi-polar and what drinking or any drug could do to one who suffers from the disorder. What's even more crazy is the thirst of getting the footage of Chris in this manner. You can hear girls screaming about getting a pic in an effort to publicize this incident for their personal gain whether it be financially or for social network ranking. Source

VIDEO: Floyd Mayweather Gets Messy On Red Carpet Before BET Awards With Tameka 'Tiny' Harris

Image
I swear Floyd Mayweather is in the beginning stages of losing his dayum mind. Exclusive Floyd Mayweather Confronts Tiny on... by HipHollywood Like, why? At some point people (celebs) need to know when to turn up and down. Judging by the fact that Floyd has never been married and displays little respect for women I am not surprised by his red carpet antics. But when is enough...enuff?!! This could have very easily shifted the atmosphere of this awards show. As if we need any more embarrassment. In better news, I kinda liked the united front T.I. and Tiny are putting on as if the whole world doesn't have access to Instagram or the world wide web. Why not? Everybody else is doing it. Source

BEST 2014 BET Awards Performance...

Image
Source: Kevin Winter/Getty Images North America Goes to Chris Brown !! What a comeback performance when many doubted this young man's perseverance. Annnnnnnnnnnnnd he was noticeably lip synching while busting dope moves!!         Was French Montana too busy studying his Keeping Up With The Kardashians lines to focus on performing with Chris Breezy ? Jumping on the buzz from a great performance Chris has released new music featuring Usher and Rick Ross slated for his upcoming album X .

VIDEO: Jhene Aiko And John Legend Collaborate On "The Worst"

On of my favorite performances during the BET Awards was a duet featuring Jhene Aiko and John Legend . The set belonged to John Legend who debuted a new song last night but it was his soulful collabo at the end of his set with Aiko that I remember fondly.         John's voice coupled with Jhene's is beyond melodic perfection.

Jay Z And Beyonce Opt Out Of BET Awards But Sends Consolation Prize

What better way to state your status than to not attend an awards show yet still close the show with a performance? None!! And that's exactly what Beyonce and Jay Z did last night to close out the BET Awards. by IdolxMuzic I wonder how moments like these leave Beyonce and Jay Z's counterpart? Most opened their schedules to attend and some didn't win yet they were capable of closing the show in person but show execs went with the bigger names...hmmmmmmmm. BTW, three awards went to Beyonce last night in her absence including the Fandemonium Award .

Shepherd And McCarthy Axed From 'The View'

The higher ups over at ABC's The View are cleaning house. Among the things getting thrown out are Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCartney while Whoopi Goldberg remains unharmed. The number 7 is God’s number of completion & after 7 seasons my time at The View is now complete!So grateful2 every1 4their love & support. — Sherri Shepherd (@SherriEShepherd) June 27, 2014 Incredibly grateful to my second mom @BarbaraJWalters for pushing me beyond my comfort zone - it’s been amazing doing it scared! #joy — Sherri Shepherd (@SherriEShepherd) June 27, 2014 If Sherri goes...

Thanks to everyone at the show for your dedication and an amazing year. — Jenny McCarthy (@JennyMcCarthy) June 27, 2014 I'm willing to bet money they are adding a man to the show. The show is dated, let's be real but the audience remains the same. ...

Are You Ready For 'The Chris Brown Show'?

Image
You may not be but reportedly BET is... BET is gunning to air a  Chris Brown  reality show ... and they've already held focus groups to find out if viewers will flock to their sets or stay away. Multiple sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... BET has made it clear to several production companies ... the network would absolutely air a Chris Brown reality series, chronicling his life after jail. We're told several production companies are angling to sign Chris, but so far that hasn't happened.  If it does, we're told the show will get on the air. A focus group was held Tuesday in the San Fernando Valley ... asking participants if they'd watch a reality show in which Chris tries to stay on the straight and narrow -- free from violence and drugs.   We're told the group -- comprised entirely of African American females -- was split, but the majority said they'd watch to see if Chris would screw up. Th is show will get so much negative press I...

Kelly Rowland Shows Off Belly Bump At Jay Z And Beyonce Concert

You already know Kelly Rowland loves Miami (she lives there) and some Beyonce so it was inevitable that she would attend the first On The Run tour show in...MIAMI!! She must be carrying a vampire in there...that bump keeps getting bigger by the glance.

Jay Z And Beyonce Kick 'Off On The Run' Tour In Miami

Image
Last night husband and wife duo Jay Z and Beyonce kicked off their highly anticipated On The Run tour in Miami. The couple opened the show with a collabo of " 03 Bonnie & Clyde ", among other collabos, while going back and forth allowing one another to take the stage solo. Now the below video has horrible audio BUT it allows you to get a glimpse of how the show opens and the flow of Jay and Bey performing together. I never will ever understand how people can pay top dollar to attend a concert only to sit there and tape the whole show on their phone. Even Beyonce agrees...to some extent.

**BREAKING NEWS** Draya Plans Massive Makeover

Image
flat ass and chested makes clothes look better girls. And take it from me, this fake tidday phase is outta style. — Draya Michele (@DrayaFace) June 25, 2014 Fake booties are IN but what will SHE do when they go OUT? Saying bye bye to my "girls" in September. — Draya Michele (@DrayaFace) June 25, 2014 I'm tired of these boobs making everything look all skanky all the time. — Draya Michele (@DrayaFace) June 25, 2014 Chile, it's not the titties... Oh BTW, if I were her I'd have taken them bad boys out without warning and soaked up the " did she or didn't she " press to extend my 15 mins...if I were her.

'Scandal' Clothing Line Coming To The Limited

Image
I have a aging infatuation with The Limited brand as my mother use to (and still does) love the store. So much so that she would splurge on her mini me (that's me) at The Limited Too more often than she did for herself at the parent store. Anywho fast forward to today... Everyone's favorite television clean up woman, Kerry Washington by way of   Olivia Pope , has partnered not only partnered with The Limited but the show's costume designer Lyn Paolo for an exclusive line inspired by Scandal 's leading lady. "By creating a line inspired by the show, we are introducing a collection that embodies the elegance and power of the  Scandal  aesthetic for real-life gladiators and everyday fashionistas," Washington (aka Olivia Pope) said in a press release. “The collection is a nod to our devoted fans, to fans of fashion and to women everywhere who are inspired to boldly pursue their passions and look good while doing it." “We weren’t inspired by a...

Live On Michael...

Image
I think it's kind of odd to somewhat celebrate the day some died, as today is the day Michael Jackson died five years ago, but rather honor them in a way best fitting to what they meant to YOU. With that said....rest in peace to the King of Pop!! Gone but NEVER forgotten.

'Purple Rain' Turns 30

Image
Dearly Beloved, It was 30 year ago to THIS day in 1984 that Prince released his epic world renowned sixth album ' Purple Rain' . ' Purple Rain' is of course the soundtrack to Prince's ' Purple Rain' film which was loosely based on his life. Prince was able to shell out 5 hit singles from this album and went on to sell over 20 million copies. The best notable mention about ' Purple Rain ' is that to THIS day you can still play the album and jam to it like it's the first time " When Doves Cry " ever blessed your ears. We need more works like it!!

Awkward Spottings...

Image
Yesterday a few photos came out yesterday that were beyond the look and smile category. You had to look at them then ponder on them due to the subjects. Like..... Kobe and Vanessa Bryant were seen in Mykonos vacationing with their daughters. Let me first say the Bryant girls are adorable and follow that up with...anyone want any flapjacks? Kobe, go ahead and get Vanessa that mommy makeover...she may love you gain for it. Jaden Smith was spotted with a young beauty and she's not a Kardashian. She's cute...very cute. But ummmmmmmmm Jaden what you got on? Last but definitely not least, Earvin Johnson III and Lisa Raye were spotted dinning at the heavily pap populated Mr. Chow. Not only is this a rare pairing but why is EJ channeling NeNe Leakes ? From the outfit to the location this is all NeNe's steelo. Was I being polite by saying "awkward"?

VIDEO: Angie Martinez Explains Move To Rival Radio Station

Image
Angie Martinez publicly made her first response as to why she left Hot 97 after 15 years for rival station Power 105.1 and sister company Miami's The Beat 103.5 last week. In the interview with her new colleagues The Breakfast Club Angie speaks on her decision and why it was best for her family as well as why she's not disloyal. "It's business and people leave jobs all the time. I'm not disloyal at all. I have always been extremely loyal. I put -I don't know how many years of my life- down for that company. Even the highest of higher ups –which is when I went to make the phone call when I decided to take this amazing offer that I got. They said [executives] you’ve served this company so well [and for] so many years, I can do nothing but wish you well. “It was no –how dare you? Why would you leave us? There was not –it was emotional and sad, Angie Martinez continued. “But nobody was angry. Nobody felt like I was doing the wrong thing. Everyone said th...

Rita Ora Covers Flare Mag + Talks About American Takeover

Image
Today, Ora is on the tail end of what she calls her American Takeover, which she describes as an “all-right-let’s-give-it-a-shot kind of thing.” Her nonchalance belies a gruelling itinerary: belting out the new single on  The Tonight Show Starring   Jimmy Fallon , hanging with Iggy Azalea for an afternoon on MTV and performing an intimate show for friends and family at uber-hip Manhattan nightspot The Box, as well as tackling a head-spinning number of press events. Ora’s overseas debut, it’s clear, is of vital, make-or-break importance. While she waits for a second round of nail art to dry—this time, a technicolour block of geometric shapes—she starts goofing around, pulling cross-eyed selfie faces for her devoted Instagram followers. “YE-AH! We are heeeeere,” she hoots. “We are coming. We. Have. Arrived.” I find just about everything I know about Rita Ora hilarious. I wondered at one time if I found out more about her personally or professionally whether I would li...

Introducing Shad Moss...

Image
Rapper and co-host of BET's 106 & Park Bow Wow has decided to go by his government name, Shad Moss , professionally leaving behind his stage name. Is it safe to assume that Bow  Shad is done with the rap game? Why should I have to wait until after the BET Awards for the name change? Will he perform one last time as the artist formerly know as Lil Bow Wow ? I hate to say it, but now he's going to probably be called Bow Wow more than ever. Hell, people might start calling him " Lil Bow Wow " again.

Kim Kardashian Makes Conscious Blog Post On Beverly Hills Hotel Boycott

Image
I had no clue there was a boycott going on of the Beverly Hills Hotel . But when Kim Kardashian is more in tune with worldly news besides ratchet television and hip hop music you know you need to step your game up as well. Y'all get into Kim's blog post while I read  some news on CNN . My best friend Allison and I wanted to take our babies out to lunch a few days ago after our baby class but there were so many paparazzi swarming us, it would have really scared them. Instead we had to feed them at her place and put them down for a nap. We were planning on taking them to the Beverly Hills Hotel, which is where we always go because they respect not having any paparazzi drive onto their property, but I reminded Allison that my bridal shower was moved from that hotel due to the actions of the Sultan of Brunei. Allison shared with me her view on the situation and we 100% agree that the actions and law enforcements of the Sultan are completely against everything we believe i...

Look Who Finally Got Their First Birthday Party

Image
I am so impressed with Kimye right now. Not only did Kanye and Kim go all out for their baby girl's first birthday party but they did so in such non-traditional Kardashian style that I don't even have anything bad to say. I can't wait to watch this Kidchella themed party...I am going to see this on the show, right?

Madonna's Daughter Spotted At Prom With Cigarettes

Image
Madonna 's teenage daughter Lourdes Leon is graduating from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School in NYC later this month and just like any other senior in high school she took part in her school's senior activities. One of those activities was the prom over the weekend. Lourdes, almost an spitting image of her mother, was spotted with cigarettes noticeably in her purse while attending the prom after a pre-prom celebration at her house. Before you go getting up in arms, you should know that Lourdes has been a smoker for a while now in her teenage years....and her mother knows it. She was caught by photogs in the city when she was 15 smoking while her mother vowed to get stricter at the time it's obvious she hasn't quit. Should we be shocked that she is smoking or that she isn't hiding it because her parent(s) know? I'm almost shocked that children are so under dressed for the prom...
