The Dream has revealed that Beyonce will release new music before her Super Bowl performance in Feburary.  Meanwhile, her husband Jay-Z has released a short documentary about the concerts he performed to open the Barclays Center.  Get more infomation inside....

When Beyonce (shown above in a new Tumblr photo) posted a few photo on her website referring to "Febuary 2013", fans couldn't decide if her "Countdown To Touchdown" referred to new music or her Super Bowl performance.  And now...we know it's a little bit of both.  

Famed producer The Dream recently confirmed to Billboard that Beyonce started recording new music over the summer of 2012 and is gearing up to releasing some new music before her performance at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on February 3, 2012.  

The Dream said he's been involved in every aspect of Bey's fifth studio album and, "She's already gearing up to get ready to put stuff out. I'm sure there will probably be a couple records you hear before the Super Bowl gets here."

And with new music, a Super Bowl performance and an HBO documentary coming out, 2013 already the year of Beyonce! We're sure her fans can't wait.

And in Jay-Z news.....

Earlier today, JAY Z's Life+Times posted an unprecedented behind the scenes look at the creation of his Barclays Center opening concerts.  Watch the film above.  

The official confirmation of the new cast has just been made for "Love & Hip Hop" NYC.  And it's plenty of new folks and odd couples.  Get the deets inside...

Olivia is still trying to make a new album.  She's also all about her basketball playing boyfriend Tarence Kinsey.  And we'll see her working that out as well as trying to keep the peace with her long time manager Rich Dollaz while he simultaneously manages his new girlfriend...Erica Mena.  Yep, Erica & Rich are now confirmed as a couple according to VH1.  Which explains their shopping outing this week.  So that ought to be interesting.

Two new faces will be rapper Consequence and his baby moms, radio personality Jen The Pen (pictured above with Exec. Producer Mona Scott Young).  Yep, the same Jen The Pen that was ixnayed from Dame Dash's "Ultimate Hustler" reality show.  The twosome will show their trials and tribulations as a couple as they co-parent their son Caiden. Fun fact: Consequence is Q-Tip's first cousin.

Yandy will be returning as she now has a baby boy, whose name is Omere.  She and her live-in boyfriend/baby's daddy, Mandeecees, will be showing how they keep their romance going.  All while balancing career and family.

Rapper Joe Budden has joined the cast with a Stevie J. like love triangle--his ex, video vixen Tahiry (pictured above), is on the show and so is Raqi Thunda, a DJ folks think he's getting down with on the side. They insist they're just long time friends, but Raqi and Tahiry are at each other's throats.  By the way, Raqi, pictured below, is good friends with Joe's current girlfriend Kaylin Garcia.

Meanwhile, Fabolous' ex-assistant (who we saw having mad convos with Emily B. last season), Winter, will also be on the show.  Apparently she's writing a tell-all about all her famous ex-boyfriends.  Sigh.

There was no mention of Kimbella returning in the press release, but here's a recent pic of her newest baby girl with Juelz Santana:

Awww.

There were a whole lot of "Who" and "WTF" questions flying from our mouths as we wrote this, but whatevs.  We'll be watching.  The new season begins Monday, January 7th at 8PM on VH1.

Rihanna gets another shot at her fashion reality show career.  She's set to star and produce in her own fashion reality series on the Style network.  Deets inside...

2013 is shaping up to be a pretty busy one for Rih Rih.  In addition to her Diamonds World Tour, kicking off March '13 in North America, she'll be hard at work on her new American show "Styled To Rock."

It was just announced today that Rihanna will be starring and producing the fashion reality series for the STYLE network.  And if the name sounds familiar, it's because it is.  Rihanna did the same fashion reality show over in the UK earlier this year for one of the British networks.  But after it got less than stellar reviews, ratings & viewers, it came to an end.

Now, she's got a second shot to make it work here in the US.

The show is slated to premiere in 2013 as an hour-long 10-episode series.  Twelve up-and-coming designers, hand-picked by Rihanna, will be given the opportunity of a lifetime to create unique fashion pieces for A-list celebrity talent.

“Fashion has always played an integral part in my life and career,” said Rihanna. “I am so excited to partner with Style Network and share my creative insight with these 12 designers and give them this opportunity to showcase their work.’

As for how this reality series will go down exactly, according to the press release:

Rihanna will personally select the 12 designers who will compete for the coveted opportunity to dress some of the biggest names in entertainment. To help the designers reach their ultimate artistic potential, Rihanna will enlist the guidance of top experts from the fashion industry to serve as mentors. Each week, challenges will push the designers to their creative limits when they are tasked with styling an A-list star. Each week’s celebrity guest will determine which designer best achieves their vision – and advances to the next week of competition. Faced with the threat of elimination, the remaining designers must meet with the mentors to discuss where they fell short and ultimately who will be sent home. In the end, one designer will be named the winner of “Styled to Rock.”

Will you be watching?

She's got a new signature color to add to her repertoire.  Nicki Minaj just unveiled her new lavender lip color for her solo Mac Vova Glam campaign.  Check out the visuals inside...

In addition to her Pink Friday fragrance for the MAC Viva Glam campaign where she and Ricky Martin raised money for AIDS causes, Nicki Minaj just copped her own solo fragrance.

The Barb is trading in that Pink signature color for a shade of purple that's been popping up on runways this season.  The MAC twitter handle broke the news this morning tweeting this morning:

Going solo in 2013, @NICKIMINAJ's next Viva Glam Lipstick avail Feb. #BARBZ, you made it trend: #LAVENDERISTHENEWPINK

The lavender shade will hit stores in February. So now her Barbz can smell like her and rock her lavendar lips at the same time.  You feelin' it?

Daddy-To-Be Wiz Khalifa dropped by the Breakfast Club this morning to promote his O.N.I.F.C. release, and talks about getting married to and sexing his fiancee Amber Rose.  Deets inside....

Earlier today, Wiz Khalifa stopped by Power 105's The Breakfast Club to chat it up about his music, his upcoming nuptials and his success.  He talked about the album's title (Only N*gga In First Class) and revealed that most of the time he finds that he's still the only Black man in first class on his flights.  And he said he's treated differently while flying because of his tattoos and the smell of weed. Ha.  He also said that he also struggles with pleasing his hardcore fans, who've been with him through the beginning, and his new "radio friendly" fans. 

When it comes to beef, he said he has no hard feelings towards Chief Keef (who stood him up on a video shoot).  ,He revealed that The Weeknd didn't appear in the video for the song they did together because The Weeknd's camp wasn't so sure that working with Wiz was a look they wanted for their client.

On a personal level, he told the hosts that he and Amber are getting a new home in LA because they need more space. He then gave up all the goods saying that he loves pregnancy sex and how Amber's body is a lot more sensitive.  Also, he conformed they'll get married before the baby comes and have a ceremony after the birth so Amber can wear a nice dress and get drunk!  Of course.

And when it comes to the wandering eye, the "Work Hard Play Hard" rapper said both he and Amber as so "committed" that they don't look at other people.  He added that they don't watch porn OR make porn either.

Reality tv couple Lil' Scrappy and Erica Dixon made it drizzle at the strip club in ATL recently. See their apparent date night photos inside....

"LAHH ATL" couple Lil' Scrappy and Erica Dixon were spotted having a little fun at Onyx strip club in Atlanta this past Friday.

The couple were joined by a few Falcons players and DJ Nando who all cheered while watching Scrappy make it drizzle (because we don't think tossing a few singles counts as "rain").

And if reports from UPTOWN Magazine are true, seeing Scrappy and Erica go head-to-head with Diamond and Soulja Boy on season 2 of "LAHH ATL" should prove very interesting next year.

Drizzle on...

Trey Songz took his "Chapter V" tour to NYC's Madison Square Garden last night and brought out special guests Trinidad James, Young Jeezy and Fabolous. See pics and video inside.....

Last night, Trey Songz"Chapter V" tour, which features Miguel and Elle Varner, rolled through the Big Apple for a sold out performance at Madison Square Garden.  While on stage, the sexy crooner brought out a slew of special guests, including Young Jeezy.

Trey, who was also joined on stage by up and coming rapper (reportedly soon to be signed by Rick Ross) Trinidad James, was nominated for a Grammy for Best R&B Song for "Heart Attack" yesterday.  

Trey, who also rolls through Detroit, MI and Nashville, TN this week, also rocked the stage with Fab.

Page 31 caught Trey and Trinidad James performing "All Gold Everything" at MSG.  Watch it here:

And "Say Ahh" with Fabolous.

Reality star Tamar Braxton released her highly anticipated "Love And War" single yesterday. Listen to the track inside....

On both "Braxton Family Values" and "Tamar And Vince" (which has it's season finale tonight) fans have watched Tamar Braxton talk about stepping out of Toni Braxton's shadow and has been begging her husbanger Vince to let her release a single.  And now she is. And her new single shows she has what it takes. 

"Love And War", which doubles as the title track of her upcoming disc, is a heart-wrenching love ballad that showcases the textures of her voice. Though Tamar's tone is very similar to that of Toni, her soprano reigns surpeme on this track and easily places her among one of the best R&B singers putting out music right now.

By the way, be sure to check out the finale episode of "Tamar & Vince" on WEtv tonight at 9/c.

Listen to the track below and you can download it on iTunes today:

We're not too sure what's going on here, but it looks like Demi Moore was having the time of her life partying and cuddling up to rockstar Lenny Kravitz last night.  Check out the twosome raising eyebrows at Soho Beach House in Miami last night inside....

At the Chanel beachside BBQ celebrating Art.sy during Art Basel in Miami last night, Lenny Kravitz was apparently attracting all the chicks. Namely a bizarre-acting 50-year-old Demi Moore.  She threw on her shortest jumpsuit and tossed back drinks while dancing and hanging all over Lenny Kravitz.

Either chick knows how to let loose whenever she wants, or maybe she was on something.  But she surely got up and dropped it like it's hot with Lenny looking slightly unimpressed by the hot bodied actress:

Ha.

The twosome chatted it up before leaving out while folks surrounded their table snapping pics.  Demi was reportedly there with her rumored young boy toy, 26-year-old Vito Schnabel.  But did she also partake in someone a little more her age, like 48-year-old Lenny?  VERY interesting....

Meanwhile, Lenny's in the midst of shooting a Marvin Gaye biopic.

We haven't seen this baby girl since she was a newborn posing in pics with her famous mommy and daddy. 

She was born almost 3 years ago this upcoming February, and even though her parents are no longer together, they co-parent and smother her with love.  And if her parents are any indication of her potential, an eclectic music career may be in her future...

The celeb parents of this cutie pie are....

Wait for it.....

She's Mars Merkaba Thedford....daughter of singer Erykah Badu& rapper Jay Electronica!  Mars, who turns 3 in February, was Instgrammed by her dad who said,"Mars F. Electronica Alla." 

The tiny tot has taken professional pics with mom Erykah when she was just months old, and snapped on Twitter in her dad's arms.  Cute!

"RHOA" star Phaedra Parks has teamed with her very fit husband Apollo Nida to create a "donkey booty" workout plan.   Get deets on the video inside and find out what fitness advice Evelyn Lozada gave to "LATINA" readers.

At the start of "RHOA" Season 5, Phaedra Parks revealed that she and her husband Apollo Nida, a certified fitness trainer, were working on a fitness DVD.....and now you can own it for yourself.  Available December 11, Phine Body is a an exciting working video featuring “Donkey Booty Volume 1″ and “Lower Body & Core Training.”  Will it come with Phaedra's odd moans and sayings though?

In speaking about the tape, Phaedra said the video is for women who aren't necessarily into hardcore gym workouts but who still want to stay in shape. And you won't have to worry about your weave because you won't be sweating a lot.  Oh...

“Our DVD … while it is a very tough DVD, it’s anaerobic vs. aerobic, some parts of it. So with some of those toning exercises, you’re not doing hard sweat. You’re definitely going to feel it because you’re working your muscles, and you’re using core resistance, and that’s going to give you great results

Phaedra recently told StyleBlazer about the tape. “But it’s not like you’re in a kickbox[ing] class and you’re just sweating bullets and you’re drenched at the end. The dance routine is the most aerobic of everything because you’re dancing. You’ll definitely sweat with that,” she said.

But what is a donkey booty exactly?  The ultimate Southern belle put it this way, 

All booties can be beautiful booties. It’s just a matter of toning and lifting them. Some people think a donkey booty is just a gigantic booty, but it’s not. It’s a nice perfect round behind, and anyone can have it.”

But what if you aren't born with a donkey butt? Phaedra says you can get one.  Of course.

“You can start off as flat as a board. And if you work the glutes, you can build the muscle, so it has that nice curvy appeal. Do some squats, some lunges, you will really see your legs and your behind just lifting.”

Who's trying it?

In other fitness news.....

"BBW" star Evelyn Lozada started her new gig at LATINA Magazine recently where she blogs about health and fitness for the magazine's readers.  She began her first post with a personal messgae to fans saying, 

I’m very excited about my first blog entry with Latina.com! This is certainly an honor and I look forward to sharing my health and fitness secrets with ALL of you! I have consulted with Celebrity trainer, Tim Hamilton of GetFit Trim (@gitfittim), who has helped me modify several different workouts not only for myself (but also for you!)."

Evelyn goes on to share with reader her super-ab workout plan which consists of a Warm-Up with a 60 second plank, The Russian Twist, a Leg Raise and The Reverse Crunch.

And Evelyn's advice was apparently a hit with readers as she tweeted that she crashed the site......

Rapper Lil' Wayne was spotted in Indiana at a college basketball game for his good friend Skylar Diggins yesterday.  See the photos inside and check out Draya's photoshoot for Urban Ink Magazine.

Lil' Wayne trekked all the way to South Bend, Indiana yesterday to sit courtside at the Notre Dame vs. Baylor women's basketball game.

Though Weezy still seems to be datingDhea, as she was recently seen in twitpics with his daughter Reginae, he and Skylar have remained friends after their Twitter flirtations previously. Weezy had the streets buzzing a while ago when he used his Twitter account to raise Skylar's profile and called her "wifey."  But just how close the two are remains to be seen.  

But for someone who's had the health challenges of Weezy this year, he must really value their friendship to travel to Indiana for a game.  

And on magazine racks.....

"BBW LA" star Draya Michele showed off a few of her tattoos and a ton of gold chains in a shoot yesterday for the latest issue of Urban Ink Magazine.  

The sexy vixen--who we've grown to have a love/hate relationship with thanks to the show, bared her chi chis in over $250K worth of jewelry from celebrity jewelerBen Baller.

She tweeted, "Work! Jeweled up from the best !!!! @benballer !! 250 round my neck!"  She said she was there to shoot the cover.  Wonder if she'll expect congrats from co-star Brooke after the lack of enthusiasm she showed Ms. Bailey for that King cover.

So a naked pic was sent out around the net today by a person claiming that it was rapper Joe Budden and his penis parts in the photo.  Now Joe tells us it's not him in the pic.  And he had a few other things to say....

The naked pic (below) that hit the net today was said by the anonymous source to be "small d*ck Joe Budden"--as stated in the subject line of the email.  And the anonymous source claimed to have looked through the rapper's phone and found it while he wasn't looking saying, "While he was out in Cali we got in that n*gga's phone. Now we see why all his girls end up cheating on him."

Now, Joe, who is set to appear on "Love & Hip Hop" Season 3 (NYC), claims it's definitely not him in the image. As for the tattoos that match up almost exactly, Joe says it's the work of Photoshop.  And he said he would even have his exes testify on his behalf...about his manhood.

He sent a statement via his rep saying:

"I have always been very honest and transparent with my fans. I have been fearless in everything I do. I stand behind ALL of my actions. So, seeing the post today was just as much as a surprise to me as it was to everyone else. So, to put the rumors to rest, that is not me, JOE BUDDEN. I'm willing to put any of my exes (not the angry ones of course, I digress) on the stand to prove this. Thanks for paying attention, go download my mix tape "A Loose Quarter" , look for my album, request my single, "She Don't Put It Down Like You" with Lil Wayne and Tank, and look forward to seeing a lot more of me January"-Joe Budden

Joe also tweeted today:

1 things for sure tho…. I’m getting famous again.

The Smith family was spotted at LAX airport yesterday.  See the candids inside.... 

Yesterday, Jada Pinkett Smith, son Jaden and daughter Willow were seen leaving LAX.  The family had just returned from a trip to Kauai.

12-year-old Willow held the hand of a close friend--we assume--who rocked a MSFTS t-shirt from Jaden's clothing line.

Jaden, who's just as fashion-forward as his little sister, recently spoke about his MSFTS clothing line saying, 'I get a lot of my fashion just from things I see, inspiration just comes in and out in the day. I don't think that I'm a fashion guru or anything... Sometimes people like it, sometimes they don't.'

Singer K. Michelle talked to Hot 97 earlier today about her "anger issues" and how they impacted her relationship with baller J. R. Smith.   Watch the interview inside and get the details about Katt Williams coming out of retirement. 

Warner Bros. recording artist K. Michelle stopped by Hot 97 this morning where she talked about her work with women who've experienced domestic abuse and getting back with NY Knicks baller J. R. Smith--since apparently they were a couple. 

While talking about relationships, the single lady revealed that she was dating J.R. but things went south because of her attitude.  "I'm very open in saying that I want him back.  Once I had a taste of that real....I  don't want nobody else." 

K. admitted that she has some anger issues and that she's a "handful."  And to prove that she's ready to be a do-right woman, she sang a snippet of a song she wrote to win him back.  Yeah....

Watch the interview here and listen to K. Michelle's "get him back" song at 9:30:

And.....he's back! 

Earlier this week, Katt Williams tearfully announced his retirement from stand-up comedy after a string of arrests and violent behavior. Though he told his kids about the decision, his management team was apparently in the dark.  

They weren't too happy about his "announcement" so they made one of their own that Katt is now un-retired.  They told TMZ...

"Katt is definitely NOT retiring. He will be moving forward with the tour ... Friday is Texas, Saturday New Orleans, and on to Alabama."

"The reason why he made remarks was due to him feeling totally disrespected by all the things that happen to him in the city of Seattle. He had a moment where he felt very unappreciated. He now just wants to move forward from those unfortunate events and give his fans outstanding shows from this point forward."

Unfortunately, Katt will also be moving forward will several court cases as he's been charged with 2 counts of 4th degree misdemeanor assault from that really bad weekend in Seattle.
