"In my youth, I had all these questions, and no answers. And now I'm finding out the answers. I've made a lot of bad decisions, but God led me to such a beautiful place when I turned 27 [in June 2011]-it was a pivotal moment. I started feeling more beautiful. I felt like I'd never been so happy. The light bulb turned on for me. This is the new journey. I feel like I'm starting over."

Also, she revealed her celebrity crush on Rihanna saying, 

“She [Rihanna] knew my name, and I freaked out. That was my celebrity groupie moment. I really admire that girl and what she does. She told me, ‘You have to continue being yourself. You’re a rock star, and don’t let anybody change you.’ It was powerful that somebody I’m such a huge fan of said she was a fan of me. I thought that was dope.”

Looking fab Jess.

Rihanna Cops A $12 Million Bachelorette Pad?! + Lil Wayne PAYS UP His $7 Million In Taxes

Photobucket

Rihanna finally has a fabulous pad she can call her own.  After a nightmare of a home purchase last year, she picked up a hot mansion in the Palisades.  Deets inside, plus Lil Wayne saved his own Miami mansion from getting seized by the IRS...

She had to sell her previous pad after having tons of issues with it, and now she's on to bigger and better.  According to reports, the "Diamond" gal recently purchased a $12 mill sexy mansion in the Pacific Palisades--a swanky neighborhood of Los Angeles.

The 24-year-old, pictured above in a new snap on Instagram, will have 11,000 sqft. to play around with.  And a huge rooftop deck and zero-edge swimming pool area with a BBQ kitchen to use when hosting some bad ass parties.

She's got 7 bedrooms to christen and nobody will get a peek as the newly constructed home is heavily surrounded by Oak and Sycamore trees.  Oh, and we wonder if she'll be cooking up meals for Breezy in her 14ft-ceiling kitchen. 

Check out the pics HERE.

Photobucket

Speaking of homes, Lil Wayne just saved his Miami mansion from getting seized by the IRS.  He's been reported to owe $3.35 million in taxes for 2008 and $2.25 million for 2009, plus other unpaid taxes and late fees dating back in 2002.  And the IRS placed liens on his 15,000 Miami home on La Gorce island to recoup their dollars.

So now, the "Got Money" rapper has paid off the $7 mill+ he owed.  And since he doesn't live there full time, he's been renting out the pad for the last 2 years.  According to the Miami Herald, he's paid in full.  He's got No Worries.
 

NERDY IS THE NEW SEXY: Elle Varner MAKES IT POP On VIBE VIXEN'S January 2013 Issue

Photobucket

She came on the scene as a breath of fresh air....and we're still lovin' her steez.  Elle Varner is the December 2012/January 2013 cover girl for Vibe Vixen.  And vixen she is...in that cute nerdy innocent (but not really) way.

 

Check out her cover, her industry dating rules, and more inside....

The "I Don't Care" singer, who's rocking a pop of blue lipstick and a gold link chain necklace on the VIXEN cover, is well on her way to getting cozy on the R&B scene. 

For the cover shot, Elle keeps it sexy in a curve hugging dress by Confetti, a vintage Versace gold link chain, her own vintage glasses, and Joan Hornig ring and bracelet.

We're pretty sure she won't be a 1 album wonder.  So it's only right folks are still fascinated with her cutesy look with such a powerful voice.  And she simply seems like a real chick who isn't selling us a fake version of themselves.

Check out a few of the excerpts from her cover story, where we learn about her dream guy and just how "edgy" she would go:

VV: Would you date someone in the industry?

Elle Varner: I don't want someone that's in the entertainment business, but I don't not want them either. I don't have a rule. On one hand, someone in the entertainment business understands my life more than the average person because you have to deal with their stuff too.

If you could build your dream guy, what would he look like?

He would be tall so that I feel small because I'm pretty big. I'm 5'7". And I don't have a color preference. I don't care about race or anything. He would have nice hair. I love to play with hair. Nice lips and nice eyes.

Would he be a little edgy and rock tattoos or be the clean cut type?

I could do like one or two tattoos. If he had more than that, it would be weird.

Since you're on tour with Trey and Miguel, tell me your favorite songs by these guys?

My favorite Miguel song? That's hard. I think it's always gonna be "Sure Thing" because those lyrics are just so genius. And for some reason, just because it's my jam song to go out, I would have to say 'Say Aah' [laughs].

Loves her.  Check out her gallery over at VIBE VIXEN.

Kendrick Lamar is making all kinds of waves in the rap game.  And now he's following in the footsteps of his Aftermath labelmate, Eminem, by doing a sing with singer Dido.

Now, Em's labelmate and somewhat protege, Kendrick Lamar, is trying for the same magic.

Dido is back and she's releasing her fourth studio album in March.  And her lead single is featuring rap's current "IT" guy, Kendrick Lamar.  Check out "Let Us Move On", produced by Dido herself and her brother Rollo Armstrong with Jeff Bhasker:

Ice-T & Coco Austin Make First POST-SCANDAL Appearance + Coco STRIPS DOWN For "Peep Show"

Ice-T and his wife Coco Austin have made their first public appearance together since questionable photos of Coco with another man surfaced online. Find out what "the other man" said about the pics inside and see pics of Coco in "Peepshow" inside....

 Last week, actor Ice-T and his wife Coco Austin stepped out together for an art party at the Last Rite's Gallery in New York. It was the first public appearance of the couple since embarrassing photos of Coco posing for pics with rapper AP9 emerged.  And Ice-T lost his ish on Twitter going in on his own wife.

We told you previously that Coco was under the impression that AP9 was a "friend" of her husband when they posed for the flicks, and now comments by AP9 prove he is CLEARLY not a friend.  

When asked by TMZ about the rumor that he and Coco were sleeping together, instead of denying the rumor, the rapper said, "'That's a RUMOUR? Is that a rumour? No comment man." Messy.  And when asked if he feared upseting Ice-T, he said, 'I'm from the hood ... I'm not worried about nothin'.

Fortunately, we all know Coco poses for "outrageous" pics with fans and this dude is clearly trying to get his 15-minutes of fame...at Coco's expense.

Folks say Ice-T was very upset by the photos but clearly he and Coco are putting the public embarrassment behind them and moving forward.  And we NEVER believe Coco would step out on Ice anyway.

Coco's been in Vegas for several weeks doing shows and she and her lipo'd, pumped up and snatched bod performed in the 'Peepshow' stage show last night at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino:

She spoke about the role of Bo Peep saying, 'I am over my head with excitement. I didn’t know at first if I wanted to change my New York lifestyle to Vegas lifestyle, but I’m, like, what the heck, life is too short. This is actually what I have been building up to my entire life. I have been a dancer my whole childhood, and I’m also a performer, so I think this is the next stage in my life.'

And after the show....

As the trio of Anguilla episodes of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," we've got a few pics and details Bravo may or may not show you from the ladies' trip. Since it doesn't include the drama and fights.

Model Cynthia Bailey brought the skills she teaches at her Bailey Agency School of Fashion along with her on the trip.  And she spent some time--in between rum punches and some QT with her hubby Peter--sharing her industry wisdom with a promising group of young girls from the Panache Modeling Team. 

Photobucket

Cynthia gave them stories from her experiences as a super-model and spoke to the girls about the important role of self-esteem and confidence.  And snapped a few pics with the ladies.  Sweet!

Cynthia looked gorge and snapped a pic with the owner of Sandy Island, Ms. Simone Connor.  Gotta love a successful black woman who owns the family-owned property that's catered to tons of celebs for decades--Michael Jordan, Demi Moore, Cindy Crawford, Bill Gates, Mariah Carey, Bob Johnson, Sofia Vergara and Denzel Washington have all stopped at Sandy Island for vacay and celebrations.

And we've got a few more behind the scenes pics of Cynthia kickin' it with the island's Parliamentary Secretary Hon. Haydn Hughes (who Kenya was heavily flirting with on the show) and brand strategist Marvet Britto, who represents the entire island of Anguilla:

Torrei Hart brings us another hilarious "Basketball Wives LA" spoof, with special appearances by Bambi, Mama Dee, Matt Barnes and the real Brooke Bailey. Watch the hilarious holiday themed episode inside.....

 

After such a big response to her first spoof, comedienne Torrei Hart, wife of comedian Kevin Hart, and her gang of friends are back for a second "BBW LA" spoof.  In this installment, Malaysia (and her teeth) and Jackie Christie attempt their own spinoff with Torrei as their manager.  However, their "meeting' is cut short when Bambi busts up on the scene and goes all "Compton" on Torrei.  Kevin and Torrei's real life daughter, Heaven, comes to the rescue and lays hands on Bambi.

Meanwhile, Brooke Bailey hires "LAHH ATL" star Momma Dee as her manager and is quickly put to "work" and given a motel room key and told she'll be getting "cash."

Then Laura Govan strikes out on her own and produces a line of "PumKash" backpacks....before she realizes Momma Dee has a similar product line. 

Of course, there's some charity involved because once chicks knock each other's heads into the ground they always need to find Jesus by giving back.

What the ladies try to build is an epic fail.

And TIME's managing editor Rick Stengel spoke about choosing the POTUS as "Person Of The Year" saying, “We are in the midst of historic cultural and demographic changes, and Obama is both the symbol and in some ways the architect of this new America.”

She explains her initial lack of success with OWN saying, “Part of my own expectation was, ‘You’ve had 25 years of success; people will leverage that. But we didn’t account for people not having the channel, and not knowing how to find it, and the cable audience being different from broadcast.”
