The Best Manstars Sanaa Lathan and Terrence Howard are teaming up again for a remake of Shakespeare's Macbeth.  Get the deets inside and find out what famous role Halle Berry is set to reprise...

Sanaa Lathan and Terrence Howard have signed on to join Blair Underwood and Evan Ross in a remake  of William Shakespeare's Macbeth. The retooled film will be called Macbett and will shoot on location in Jamaica and Puerto Rico in September 2013.

Terrence, who also serves as executive producer of the film, will be working with writer/director Aleta Chappelle (who'll make history as the first Black woman to direct a film version of the story).  Indiewire posted  the film's  synopsis:

"after a gallant military victory, General Macbett (Wipes) encounters the “Weird Sisters,” who are the spirit daughters of Mother Africa and reign over fire, water, earth and sky. They delight in manipulating Macbett by feeding him predictions of royal titles including “King.” Macbett soon becomes obsessed with ambition, as does his beautiful and ruthless wife Lady Macbett (Lathan) .

"As Macbett and his Lady spiral downward, indulging in treachery and political assassinations, they are soon haunted by their murderous deeds and driven mad. In a true exemplification of a tragedy, Macbett is defeated by his own zealous thirst for power, a heartbreaking end to a once beloved Hero".

And in other news, Sanaa and Terrence will hopefully reprise their memorable role in The Best Man sequel called Best Man Holidaycoming soon.

And in other movie news...

It's official, Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry will return to the X-Men franchise in the role of Storm (which she originated in the first film) for the latest installment X-Men: Days of Future Past.  She told "Access Hollywood", "I'm in. I think I'm in. I am excited. I love Storm. That's one of my favourite characters that I've played. And people love that character as well."

That sentiment was later confirmed with director Bryan Singer tweeted,

Congrats Halle!

Beyonce seems to be having fun with her new Pepsi ads.  From her face becoming yellow blonde pop art to her new bleached blonde bombshell look, she's  showing off her creative influence as the brand's newest spokeswoman.

Check out her latest campaign pic inside...

She's Pin-Up Bey for her newest Pepsi ad.  The curvy superstar is donning bleached blonde locks, hot pants and red lips in her newest ad for the beverage company.  And it seems it will be used to promote her upcoming world tour, The Mrs. Carter Show.

The many faces of the 31-year-old are showcased in this new image as she gears up for her big tour.

And if you're wondering just how much longer she'll be shaking it hard on stage to rake in those millions, Bey recently told the Express in the UK that she doubts it'll be long.  And probably not once she crosses that 50-year-old mark.

“I’m not sure if I’ll be shaking it when I’m their age,” Beyonce told the Express in reference to Madonna and Cher who are both still touring in their 50s and 60s.

“I don’t think I’ll be able to keep up with them. It will probably be all Ave Maria stuff when I get to that point,” Beyonce added.

Time will tell.  Bey's UK and USA shows for The Mrs. Carter Tour have sold out in minutes.  People are clearly still loving it at this moment...

The FBI has released a slew of scandalous documents that revealed deceased pop icon Whitney Houston was a victim of several extortion and blackmail attempts during her storied career.  More details inside.....

The fact that Whitney Houston had demons has been well-established and documented in books by Clive Davis and the pop icon's own mother Cissy Houston.  And with demons, there are often "secrets," and a 128-report released by the FBI has revealed that some of those alleged secrets may have led to an alleged payout to one of Whitney's tormentors.

After requests were made (underneath the Freedom of Information Act), the FBI has released a long document that highlights the peak of Whitney's career (1988-1992) where she was subjected to extortion and blackmail attempts, as well as her share of stalkers.  

One fan sent Whitney nearly 70 letters that went from admiration to alleged threats like, "I might hurt someone with some crazy idea and not realize how stupid an idea it was until after it was done."

And there was also a 1992 letter where a woman claimed to have knowledge about Whitney's "private life" and demanded $100K, before upping her amount to $250K.  Though it was never revealed what the woman "knew," Whitney did tell the FBI that she had personal conversations with the woman (whom she considered a friend).  And it was later revealed that the woman received a substantial payout from Whitney's father to keep quiet.  

Outside of the blackmail, the FBI reported that Whitney didn't receive any criminal threats through fan mail between 1988-1999.

May she rest in peace.

I am rescheduling to my European tour in order to release my album, I Am Not A Human Being II, world wide on March 26th. I didn’t want my tour or album to be rushed, so despite my best hopes, I have made the decision to push back the tour to October 2013.

Mimi Faust's new boyfriend Nikko (the man behind all the Mimi/K. Michelle drama) is speaking out and saying that he's not gay and K. Michelle is just a homewrecking bully.  Watch the interview inside...

Well....K. Michelle said Mimi Faust's new man was after the spotlight, and even before "LAHH ATL" airs, he's ALREADY doing interviews!   The man behind the drama between K. Michelle and Mimi Faust talked to CottenKandi.com recently where he talked about rumors about his sexuality and he let loose about what he really thought about K. Michelle.  

And we thought it necessary to point out how "modest' he comes across as he describes himself as a "trendy art hipster with sex appeal" and how he plays up his role on season 2 of "LAHH ATL." Here are the highlights:

On Mimi Faust:

We’ve known each other for 12 years and we recently started rekindling. We recently saw each other so I say about a good four or five months we been going out.

On K. Michelle being a bully and homewrecker

You have to look at [it]; she really doesn’t have a male figure in her life and a lot of issues even on the show with bullying. She has war with anybody. She doesn’t really know me. We met twice for her to make those rumors and opinion.  That’s what it is her opinion. She don’t really know me–it could be to take blows at Mimi because Mimi is happy. I see it as a home wrecker and this is what she is known for. Her words won’t validate me so I don’t care. I do have a gay family member and for her to make those comments is a strike on the gay community. I don’t have anything against gay people and I’m not gay.

On his sexuality:

I want to address them by saying I’m not gay. I’m not bisexual and I’m not on the down low. I’m a straight man and heterosexual. Anybody who knows me, and if you want to do your research you can check all this out. There’s a slew of guys that know me and know what I’m about. The way I raise myself is that I’m a street kid from Brooklyn. So anybody that knows me from Brooklyn, they can tell you my resume.

On how he makes his money:

I’m focusing on, right now, just building my brand. My production company is called Voxy Music. I got two other acts that I’m signing to me right now. But right now I’m focused on the Nikko and Johnny project, which I just shot two videos for and we’re putting that out. We got the first video scheduled to be released in about two weeks. That’s what I’m focused on right now, the Nikko and Johnny project. It’s gonna hit the airwaves soon.

On "LAHH ATL"

I’m absolutely on the show. You’re going to have to wait until the show comes on to see what I will be doing. I’m doing a lot of things but I can’t give away the story lines.
 

So, there you have it.  We guess.

Watch it here:

Gotta love that D-list drama and foolery!  For a couple weeks now, rumors have been spreading that Deelishis--formerly of "Flavor of Love" and now getting paid to floss her booty at clubs--got jumped after leaving a strip club in her hometown of Detroit.  Some reports falsely made up a story about it being angry strippers who did this damage.  But the actual report from the Detroit News pegs her ex-husband Orlando Gordon as the culprit.

Deets inside and why Deelishis claims the rumors of her sexing a local comic and being chased out the window by her ex husband aren't true....

Remember when Deelishis was married to the "upstanding" Orlando Gordon of Detroit back in 2008?  And she became a "wholesome" mom of a few kids.  And then ish went left when she blasted him on Facebook for cheating in 2010?  Now, 5 years later, Orlando is possibly still be cutting up while Deelishis is back to putting her ass on display for money.

Recently, Deelishis (real name Chandra London Davis) posted pics of her arm and foot in a cast after leaving one of many hosting duties.  And for days after, she didn't explain what happened, and only said she would be "just fine."

Now that the story has broken about what allegedly really went down, Dee--who has been cast in some type of blackbuster film called The Ultimatum-- is giving her side.  And it involves her ex husband Orlando, who is waiting trial for drug trafficking (and he once claimed to own a club, real estate company and landscaping business).

The Detroit News reported this week:

Gordon was free on bond and awaiting trial in federal court at the time of the alleged incident.

He was indicted in January 2012 along with more than a dozen others and accused of participating in a drug-trafficking operation involving thousands of pounds of cocaine and marijuana.

Prosecutors asked a federal judge Thursday to revoke Gordon’s bond due, in part, to the alleged assault. U.S. District Judge Sean Cox will consider the request March 12.

Court records and a police report portray a violent incident Sunday at the reality show star’s home on Muer Cove north of 13 Mile, where Deelishis lives with her two daughters.

At 4:20 a.m., Gordon smashed through the front door and struck Deelishis in the face, according to court records.

Deelishis, who had been sleeping in her daughter’s bedroom, ran to her bedroom, where her friend was asleep.

The friend? Michael Blackson, a popular stand-up comic known as the African King of Comedy.

Gordon chased the comic and hit him in the face, according to court records.

Deelishis, meanwhile, locked the bedroom door. Gordon tried to get in, prompting Deelishis to rip open the window screen and jump to the ground, according to police.

“Davis was in a lot of pain from her right wrist,” police said. “Davis also had blood on her right hand.”

She was taken to Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital, police said.

According to their report, this Michael Blackson--a local celebrity and comic--is at least part of the drama.    But Deelishis went off on Instagram denying that.  And also says she didn't hop out anybody's window.

 I DONT 'OWE' ANYBODY SHIT, ESPECIALLY NOT ANY EXPLANATIONS BUT THIS RADIO STATION OUT OF TOWN JUST BURNED MY BISCUITS IF I HAD BALLS THEY'D BE SQUEEZED TO THE MAX PISSED! STOP JUST REPORTING ANYTHING YOU HEAR! I HAD A LITTLE ACCIDENT YOU FUCKER, IT HAPPENS IM GOOD, IM NOT SUPERWOMAN LEAPING FROM TALL BUILDINGS AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME I AM NOTTTTTTTTTTTTT SCREWING DATING SUCKING FUCKING LICKING TRICKING ANYTHING CLOSE TO THAT WITH @therealmichaelblackson (SCREAMING TO THE OF MY LUNGES) CAN A BITCH LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE (NOW MY HEAD JUST SPENT AROUND LIKE THE EXORCIST .......OK IM BACK..."AND NOW I ONLY WANT WORLD PEACE MY LOVES

Meanwhile, Deelishis' engagement ring and Rolex were seized by the Feds in connection to Orlando's investigation, as well as more than $1 million in cash, classic cars and more than $130,000 in jewelry. WOMP.

She's real open about every aspect of her life...except this "accident".  Interesting.  Meanwhile, this is what Dee has been up to lately:

Kelly Rowland has spoken her piece about Keyshia Cole's Twitter comments about Michelle Williams during the Super Bowl (yeah, we're STILL talking about this), basically telling her...you're not THAT famous.  See what Kelly said inside and find out what part of his body Malik Yoba told a reporter she could put her lips on.....

During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Kelly Rowland was asked about Twitter comments that Keyshia Cole made about Michelle Williams' performance during their Destiny's Child reunion at the Super Bowl.  And BET's Rip The Runway host Miss Kelly snapped Keyshia down to size about her fame, popularity and relevance.   In just a couple sentences...

You reunited with Destiny's Child at the Super Bowl. Keyshia Cole received some blowback for criticizing Michelle Williams' performance on Twitter. Do you have any thoughts on her comments?

It didn't even make it on my radar until other people brought it up. It didn't even matter. We had a wonderful performance, and that's all I cared about. I was with my sisters and the three of us matter to each other, and that's all that counts. We matter to a lot more people, with all due respect, than her. So, I really don't care what she said.

Ouch.....

Also, Kelly gave a few hints about the theme of her upcoming disc, Talk A Good Game....

Kisses Down Low" is a flirty, fun song. Is this indicative of the direction of Talk a Good Game?

"Kisses Down Low" is just a piece of the story of Talk a Good Game. I'm really honest on this album. There's another song that I have, "Dirty Laundry." Even the title track is about relationships – the ins, the outs – all the interesting moments of relationships. I'm really ready for people to hear this album. It's kind of hard to keep it to myself.

"Dirty Laundry" is an intriguing title. Are you naming names?

It's the first time I've been so stripped away and naked. I had help with that, and that help was the-Dream. I was in the studio with Dream and he said, "I just want you to get deeper. The people want more. They want to be led into your life and know more about you." And I said, "Oh, God!" It's really nervous, because you don't know what people are going to say. In this moment, I really don't care. [Laughs]

Who are you collaborating with on the new album?

I'm still putting everything together, but I called on some new talent from Canada, like T-Minus and Boi-1da, who I love being in the studio with. Kevin Cossum, who just pulls melody out of his ears, Rock City, who completely know how to ride a beat and a cadence that's crazy, and Mike WiLL's genius-osity – I'm gonna make up a word – where he just knows what the streets are talking about.

Talk a Good Game drops later this year.

In other snappy comments.....

One journalist found out that hard way that Malik Yoba monitors his Twitter mentions and doesn't take kindly to comments about his lips ...even if you think they're ashy!

Check out their exchange...

Malik's now deleted his comments but posted about people not saying ANYTHING if you have nothing nice to say.  Thanks to Kid Fury, we've got the screengrabs.  She tried to come back and make it seem like she was the bigger person (or that she was actually offering a compliment).  We have no clue who she is, but apparently this was her way of letting people know....

Later, Malik did come back with a more classy response saying....

And she did get touched!

Leave it to Rihanna to make double denim trend.  See how Rihanna's making us feel like we're back in our tomboy hip hop days inside...

Rihanna was spotted rocking either a pair of double waistband jeans, or two pairs of different toned jeans, as she left her London hotel headed for the airport today.  She was fresh off launching her Rihanna for River Island collection at the Oxford St. store of the clothing brand.

Not feeling this in the least bit, but we're sure it'll become a trend because Rih rocked it.  Or will it?

You feelin' this?

Tia & Tamera Mowry have breathed a breath of fresh air into ESSENCE magazine.  The fabulous twins are rocking the cover and pages of the mag's April 2013 issue.

Check out their colorful cover, plus Tia balancing mommyhood and auntiehood while shopping it up for her two fave boys....

In the April issue hitting stands March 8th, actresses Tia Mowry Hardrict and Tamera Mowry Housley are talking babies, careers and love. 

The sexy moms spoke about why their Style channel reality show "Tia & Tamera" is such a hit.  Tia told Essence:

"We didn't want to do a reality show if we couldn't be real -- if I couldn't be myself.  There is no 'evil twin' syndrome, though we do have evil moments...."

Cute pics! 

And speaking of Tia, she was spotted out on a shopping date at the Children's Place store in West Hollywood this weekend:

She and her brother-in-law Adam were picking out gear from the new spring line with Tamera's and Adam's three-month old son Aden.  Tamera reportedly couldn't make the trip because she was sick, but her husband did.  And, of course, Tia's son Cree was in the mix too.

In other magazine news, Kevin Hart is covering the February/March 2013 issue of UPTOWN magazine.  Nice!

Keri Hilson is mad y'all.  She's in her feelings on Twitter going off about being done enduring all the criticisms from her "haters."  And she's demanding folks to leave her the hell alone.

Deets inside...

"Pretty Girl Rock" singer Keri Hilson went on a Twitter rant recently to express her annoyance with the hateful messages and tweets aimed at her.  And instead of logging off or simply not reading people's responses, she got her feelings into a tizzy about random people's criticisms.

Apparently, some folks are still railing her for that line from her "Turnin' Me On" song Beyonce stans believed was aimed at their Queen Bey:

"Your vision cloudy if you think that you the best/ You can dance, she can sing, but need to move it to the left..."

Keri denied it was about Mrs. Knowles Carter, and then rumors hit the net that she refused to hold up a certain magazine with Beyonce on the cover when she was at an event for the publication.  And rumors about a Keri/Beyonce beef have been flowing ever since.

Keri has said many times there is no beef between the two, but she can't get away from people calling her lame and wack and giving her harsh criticisms via social media and publications.  So she got fed up this week and wrote this ish:

“I’m here for MY FANS! I’m stronger than you imagine, but waking up/goin to bed to your ugliness is just TOO MUCH, kids. I get it, ok? You can stop now.”

Chile...

To be quite honest, we didn't even know Keri was still trying to continue a singing career as we haven't really heard (or paid attention to) much outside of her recent sexy Mexico vacay with boyfriend Serge Ibaka (pictured below):

So who is hating and why?  Is this all an exaggeration of just a few random people saying stupid things (like they do to EVERY celeb)?  Or does she have a point?

If she wants our advice....we suggest she sit back, collect those writing checks and go be with that sexy ass man of hers. And ignore the foolery like stars who know they are stars do.

She's also working on a third album with Timbaland to be released this year.  Do you boo.

Singer Trey Songz is renting a $35,000 a month mansion, living high up in the Hollywood Hills  See pics form his crib inside and see pics of Usher unveiling the new Mercedes Benz A45 AMG

Trey Songz is moving on up.....to the Hollywoods Hills.  As of April 1, the R&B star will move into a 13,000 sq. ft. mansion right next door to Ne-Yo, for the small sum of $35,000 a month.  And TMZ provided the luxe pics:

The ten bedroom home boasts 12-bath bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, a movie theater, gym and of course....an elevator.

There are also tons of balconies, views of the city and a rooftop pool.

In case any of the rooms look familiar, it's worthy to note that this is the type of home that is usually rented out for reality tv shows.

While Trey isn't on a reality show, the home will surely provide enough space for friends, familly and groupies to have a good time.  

Meanwhile...... 

Pop star Usher has been tapped by the German based automaker Mercedes-Benz to promote their brand new A45 AMG.

Usher, who'll talk to fans about his experience with the car on Facebook. already owns a CLS63 AMG and a Sprinter.

As part of his new gig as a brand spokeman, he toured the Mercedes Benz factory and learned a great deal about the automaker.  Nice!

Nas is set to take Hip-Hop to the Kennedy Center this season.  Find out what he's up to inside and meet Sylvia Rhone's new artist Kat Dahlia. 

Earlier today, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announced its 2013-2014 season which includes a weeklong festival "One Mic: Hip-Hop Culture Worldwide."

The 2014 hip-hop festival will feature Nas performing music from his classic album "Illmatic" with musicians from the National Symphony Orchestra. The festival will also feature Puerto Rican musicians Calle 13 and a graffiti exhibition.

Kennedy Center President Michael Kaiser said,

"Hip-hop is clearly something new and different for us." I think to do something very current is important. We're trying to speak to many different audiences." 

 "One Mic: Hip-Hop Culture Worldwide" will take place March 28 to April 7, 2014.  Love it already!

And in new artits.....

Record executive Sylvia Rhone, who has recently stepped out on her own, proudly presents her debut artist Kat Dahlia. Kat, who's signed to Sylvia's Vested in Culture label, hails from Miami, FL. She says her music was inspired by the heartache she suffered after her heart was broken in NYC.

She shot her debut video for "Gangsta" in her hometown saying,"It was really important for me to shoot this video in Miami because this is my hometown. I think that the richness and the culture, the colors, the story, it just felt right."  

Watch the video above.  You feelin' the newbie?

Lamar Odom, who's currently battling "Starter Wives Confidential" star Liza Morales for custody of their two kids, fell asleep in court today.  Get more deets on the court battle that put Lamar out for the count inside...

Last night, LA Clippers star Lamar Odom headed to Catch in NYC where he and Khloe Kardashian dined. But it's today's business that had him out of it.  The baller was in NYC to tend to his ongoing custody battle (pictured above leaving court today) with now former "Starter Wives Confidential" star Liza Morales over their two children.  A large part of thehttp://www.tmz.com/2013/03/05/lamar-odom-fighting-baby-mama-custody-cour... Visit the TMZ Store: http://tmzstore.com"> battle focuses on child support and visitation, and whether the kids are allowed to appear on their reality TV shows. Though "Starter Wives" was cancelled, the kids could potentially appear on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

And since Liza and Lamar are no longer on speaking terms, most of the fighting was done by their lawyers behind closed doors.  But while the lawyers were fighting, Lamar couldn't find the strength to stay awake.  The NY Post says the 6 foot 10 baller had stretched out on a courthouse bench and fell asleep, only to be awakened by a Manhattan courthouse officer wo demanded him to sit up--likely checking to make sure he wasn't a well dressed homeless man or something.  His sleepy time was blamed on "jet lag."

Although Liza isn't speaking to Lamar, she is speaking to the rest of the world as she published an open letter in The Daily Beast where she detialed their relationship and the heartache she felt when he married Khloe.  Here's a snippet, 

"I don’t think I’ll forget the tight knot I felt in the pit of my stomach the morning I received the text message with three simple words on the screen. It read 'I’m getting married’ and it was from the man I’d spent more than 10 years of my life with.

“Years that included us getting engaged in 2000 and becoming parents to one daughter and two sons. Yet not long after our separation Lamar Odom was getting married to Khloe Kardashian, a woman he’d met four weeks before.”

“How could the man who’d constantly given me reason after reason for why we couldn’t get married just yet now be ready to tie the knot so quickly? There aren’t words to explain how I felt that day.”

Read the full letter here.

SIDEBAR: Another Kardashian husband, Kris Humphries, also dined at Catch last night (Lamar pictured above leaving), but he didn't cross paths with Khloe and Lamar.  If they had seen each other, Lamar told TMZ he would have said "What's Up."  How cordial.

Another day, another Twitter beef.  Ciara and her fans have been involved in some social media drama with Rihanna's best friend Melissa Forde.  And posted a pic with her boo Future, who she called "her rockstar," to show she's over it.

Get the deets inside, plus French Montana and Trina acting like they're not a couple...

We all know pop princesses Rihanna and Ciara have had some rocky times and cattiness between the two of them.  And today, it surfaced once again with Rihanna's best friend Melissa doing some Twitter dirty work. 

Last night, Melissa tweeted a pic of herself and Rihanna and a friend looking at a phone, and she referenced Ciara's "Body Party" bathroom a cappella rendition:

We're still unsure how this was "shade" being thrown, but Ciara's stans didn't take kindly to it and started going in.  Ciara RT'd the comment and told her to grow up:

And today, the feud continued.  After Melissa got dragged through the Twitter mud by Ci's fans for being a tag-a-long and for looking "hard faced", she responded with a snap at Ciara's "C-Squad" calling them small:

Ciara's biggest fan site had to clap back.  And they said:

Teeeheee.

Even Future got in on the beef tweeting today, "Tell dem thirsty hoes fall back."

Oh the thirst of it all...

In other news, French Montana rolled to Angie Martinez's show on Hot 97.  And randomly brought Trina along.  Neither of them like to admit the rumors of them being a couple are true, but they are surely ALWAYS together. 

French started acting awkward and shy about Trina while Angie asked him about Trina.  Then Trina hopped on the mic to sing his praises about how great he is in the studio....esp. since he executive produced her new mixtape.

Check out the interview below:

Her drive became his drive. Inspirational, funny, current, and down-to-earth.  He said,

"During the process of playing the "Mama’s boy" in Think Like a Man, I took an in-depth look at my own mother and her extraordinary journey of raising me while a still teenager herself. I know that many of the successful moments in my life, personally and professionally, have been in part because of the lessons that she taught me, and I am proud to share her words of wisdom to inspire others."

Executive Editor Carrie Thornton added, “The first time I met Terrence J I found him to be charming, but also very humble. He shared with me stories of his childhood, and also his deep admiration for his mother. I knew we had found the kernel of a wonderful book from him. Terrence’s star is getting brighter and brighter every day, and we’re so happy to have the chance to publish him.” 

Congrats to T!

Well.  The wife of Carmelo Anthony wants the world to see the results of her new fitness regimen before she finishes up the last days.  And chick looks good.  "Full Court Life" star LaLa posed for pics in swimsuits, including the new line from her VH1 fam Draya Michele's Mint Swim collection (the last pic), and showed off her curve and major skin.

A while ago she asked her other VH1 fam Game how she could get on to his workout routine as it was doing major things for his body.  So she teamed up with him and his crew to workout and juice these last few months.  And this is the result.

It’s not because we’re not together 24/7 that we’re having problems.”  

When asked if the wedding was still on, she replied, “Yes, we are definitely getting married, but I’m not telling you when or where!” 

She's also been tweeting about her pre-bridal fitness.

Details about the upcoming nuptials are also being kept top secret as folks speculate about where Savannah might be get her wedding dress from. Though she was spotted at the bridal boutique Ever After in Miami, a rep from the company said, "Ms. Brinson visited a bridal market in New York. Any other information about Ms. Brinson would be confidential." 

That wedding will be a fab one though.

Rita Ora is speaking out again about the Twitter rant that Rob Kardashian went on last year where he dogged her out for cheating on him with over 20 guys.  Now, Rita is saying to an Australian magazine, according to the Mirror UK, that she never called what they had a "relationship."

“I never thought it was actually a relationship, in all honesty. I never mentally defined it as ‘boyfriend, girlfriend’. When I split up with him, I said, ‘It’s because I’m never there, I don’t know how to do it.’ That’s all I said, then … the rest happened. He obviously felt that creating myths was the way forward."

And when questioned about Rob's revelation that she slept around with 20 or so guys while they were together...she suggested he might be a little unstable.

“When you are involved with someone for a while and they decide to express their feelings to the public, well, that’s not my personal way of therapy but I guess everyone takes split-ups differently. You should have to sit an exam before you go on Twitter. To see if you’re mentally stable.”

Rob hasn't responded to Rita's quotes yet, but we think the more vocal members of his family (like Khloe) may eventually chime in.
