FREE SCRAPPY! Lil' Scrappy TURNS HIMSELF IN, Mama Dee In TEARS! + K. Michelle's "I Just Wanna" (VIDEO)

Lil' Scrappy was jailed this morning for refusing to re-take a suspect pee-test back in March!  Get the deets on the recent lock-up inside and see K. Michelle's latest video, "I Just Wanna."

 photo jai6.jpg

It was a scene made for reality tv (and yes VH1 was there!) as rapper Lil' Scrappy walked alongside his somber baby mama Erica Dixon and dramatic mother Mama Dee (holding a "FREE SCRAPPY" tee) to turn himself in for a parole violation in Atlanta, GA this morning.

We knew something "suspicious" was going on when Lil' Scrappy failed to appear at the NYC press party for "LAHH ATL" last week.  You'll recall, we told you previously that any wages Lil' Scrappy makes will be garnished (because he owes a bunch of folk) and now the reality star won't even be able to promote the show (or his music) because he's locked up!

He turned himself in this morning based on a parole violation from March.  "The Prince of The South" was accused of tampering with his required urine sample after the pee he submitted for a routine drug test was cold to the touch.  When he refused to provide a "fresh" sample, a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Fast forward to this morning....he turned himself in...and we'll get to see it all this season.

 

It all played out like a framatic ass unnecessary BLACKbuster tv movie....

All the main players were snapped by photographers (who were likely tipped off).

And of course there was a shot of Lil' Scrappy speaking to someone in a suit (most likely his lawyer).

The "family" walked into the police station.

 

And Mama Dee was in rare form with the dramatics....

First, "The Queen" watched "The Prince" get taken away in handcuffs.

Then....she held it together for as long as she could before bursting into tears while clutching her fresh of the stencil iron "Free Scrappy" tee.  #endscene

 

In other "LAHH ATL" news.....

          

K. Michelle won't be wasting any of the season 2  "LAHH ATL" hype machine as she drops her first video from the Rebellious Soul album.  The song, "I Just Wanna" lets you know from verse one that she is TRULY the protege of R. Kelly. The lyrics speak for themself:

Cuzz I just wanna fuck
And not fall in love
Dont wanna go through the pain that love can bring
Tonight I want sex that dont mean a thing
That dont make me no slut
A woman has her needs
So dont go catching feelings for me
Tonight I want sex that dont mean a thing

Are we ready for K. Michelle?

Trinidad James stopped by Power 105.1's "The Breakfast Club" where he dished about side chicks vs. main chicks.  Listen to the interview inside and watch T.I.'s"Memories Back Then" video and a trailer for Beyonce's"The Mrs. Carter Show" tour.

 

"Females Welcomed" rapper Trinidad James chatted it up with "The Breakfast Club" this morning where the rapper debuted his brand new look.  Nope, doesn't look like he's taken a shower yet.  But he did switch up the hair.  When asked why he switched from the afro, he said he was getting his hair cleaned and he felt good about it.  And he's not worried about what other people think because, "I just do me all the time".  Clearly.

Trinidad then talked about side chicks versus main chicks and revealed that he thinks all men have BOTH.  He explained that side chicks are the ones that do things the "main" chick won't.  

The hosts also commented about his teeth and joked that since he permed his hair and got a manicure (after signing with Def Jam and getting this new money), he's going to get his teeth fixed next.  We can only hope...

Essence Atkins Pops Off, Says "Tyler Perry's 'Experiment' With Casting Kim Kardashian DIDN'T WORK!"

Actress Essence Atkins has something to say about directors who cast certain Hollywood chicks for superficial reasons.  Check out how the Haunted House star went in about Tyler Perry's marketing tactics only led to people not wanting to see his movie...

It's almost like a verbal slap to those who think Twitter followers trump everything in life.  And as a black actress in Hollywood, which is arguably one of the hardest jobs, the casting of Kim Kardashian in a Tyler Perry film (Temptation) could feel like a slap in the face as well.

Jobs are few and far between for Black actresses.  So when a director who controls more of his empire than most well-known directors chooses to overlook true talent for a simple marketing tool, you can expect for one of those said credible black actresses to speak about it.

While doing press for the home/DVD release of the hit film Haunted House--which already nabbed a deal for a sequel and was a hit at the box office--Essence Atkins said what most black actresses were thinking: Tyler Perry's "experiment" didn't work.  And she explained to S2S why Twitter followers don't equate ticket sales at the box office:

"I found it interesting that Tyler did that with Temptation, hiring Kim Kardashian because she has 16 million Twitter followers, which would seem like a brilliant marketing plan [...] He has one of the biggest Twitter personalities out there in his movies, and he had one of the worst box office weekends [...] It’s not a failure, but it did worse than his movies usually do just based on him [...] I thought that was an interesting finding. Your experiment didn’t work. [...] People want to see good stories. It’s not necessarily that they want to see Kim Kardashian in a movie. They want to see her in a bikini. They want to see her with Kanye [West]. They want to see her on her show talking about her life with her sisters, but that doesn’t mean that they want to see her in a movie [...] The fact that people want to see their lives and the volatility of that…. I don’t think that it translates at all.”

VERY interesting.  Your thoughts?

Wilbrent "Gonk" Bain, the brother of "Here We Go" rapper Trina was shot and killed in Miami, Florida this morning.  Find out more about the shooting inside...

 photo 110041892.jpg

The brother of famed rapper Trina, Wilbrent "Gonk" Bain was shot and killed in Miami, Florida this morning.  According to police reports,  Gonk, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was murdered by Ron Dobson, a neighbor he'd been feuding with.   

A neighbor named "Trimel" told the local NBC affiliate, 6 South Florida, "It hit me hard because I just talked to him. This killing has to stop. It has to. All of us grew up together and that's just senseless."

Trimel suggested that easy access to weapons is an ongoing problem in the area.  "It's a gun problem more than anything because anyone can just get a gun. I guarantee if you walk around this neighborhood now I bet you you'll get it."

Though little has been revealed about what ignited the argument between the men, it was reported that Gonk survived a 2008 shooting and had a record of gun possession, burglary, drugs, and domestic violence involving strangulation. 

Police stated that Ron has confessed to the killing and is charged with second-degree murder.

So far...Trina has not spoken publically about her family's loss.

Ashanti sat down with her ex-boyfriend Nelly to talk about his relationship dealbreakers, working with Chris Brown, and the type of girl he likes.  And surprisingly...the ex-couple were so warm towards one another it's hard to imagine why they ever split!  Watch the interview inside... 

 

In her new capacity as the host of "FUSE News", Ashanti landed her ex-boyfriend Nelly for one of her first major interviews...and the segment went over exceptionally well!  As the ex-couple dished about Nelly's career and the state of hip hop, they laughed and giggled and even talked about the type of woman Nelly is looking for.  

Though that might have proved awkward for most former lovers, the pair laughed through it and Nelly revealed that he liked a nice "pair of thighs" while looking right at hers!  Here are the highlights:

On the type of girl he likes and dealbreakers:

Bad breath is a dealbreaker.  I don't want someone who lacks the confidence in who they are. I think we would hit the wall. And a nice set of thighs always helps!

On the state of hip hop:

It's not my position to judge whether it's in a bad situation. Obviously hip hop is created for the youth by the youth, and it has to make the same mistakes we made.  I think it's on a braoder scale as far as globally.  It's the most dominating music around the world.

On how he's evolved since Country Grammar:

I've been through so much in my personal life, I'm just here to celebrate I ain't where I could be.  

On "Merry Go Round" with Chris Brown:

I was working with Da Internz and we called Chris up.  At this time, he needs to know who's riding with him or not.

Ciara hosted an exclusive listening for her Ciara album in New York last night where she opened up about her new approach to music, her relationship with Future and what it was like seeing Bow Wow at "106 & Park."  See what she talked about inside...

Yesterday, Ciara tweeted a pic of herself on the way to her exclusive listening party for Ciara, saying"Hittin The Streets of NY. Outchea." The event was held at Germanos Studio and attended by an intimate group of media, including TheYBF.com.

When asked what's different about the Ciara album and her overall approach to her career, she said,

"When I did a recap you have to look at yourself in the mirror and see what you did right and wrong but people haven't got to get to know me. I can't grow as an artist until people get to know me. Embrace your imperfections to get closer to perfection."

In addition to being more open musically, she was also forthcoming about her relationship with Future.  She revealed that the storyline for her "Body Party" video was very similar to the way they hooked up in real life.  She said he was very upfront about liking her and she's very happy with him.

She also talked about running into her ex-boyfriend Bow Wow on "106 &  Park" saying it wasn't awkward at all because she was more focused on the fans and talking about her new video and album.  

While working on the Ciara album, she revealed that she felt very "free" and she's been in a very creative zone.  She added that she's "turned up" about heading back to Atlanta to prepare for her upcoming tour because she really wants to perform her new songs.

During the session, she previewed several tracks for those in attendance.  The songs ranging from bouncy pop tunes to ballads and R&B.  The disc will also feature production from Mike Will Made IT ("Body Party"), Future ("Where You Go"), an appearance by rapper Nicki Minaj on "I'm Out" and an ode to oral sex called "Read My Lips".

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon tweeted some adorable pics from their recent pajama party with their twins Monroe and Moroccan.  The family wore matching blue and pink pajama sets and spent the evening eating popcorn and watching movies.  Mariah tweeted , "Hurry up Daddy!" (Ms Monroe, Roc Starr & Mommy Mimi wait patiently watching Shrek Box Set)

 photo ScreenShot2013-04-24at15451PM.png

And proving that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, Mariah tweeted about Monroe's love of nice shoes,"Ms. Monroe raids mommy's shoe closet, slippers by agent provocateur (not yet 2 years old!)"

But outside of the safety her home provides, Mariah Carey and her job as a judge on "American Idol" has reportedly been under attack due to a secret plot by the show's producers to replace her with former "AI" judge Jennifer Lopez.  According to a scandalous article by The Hollywood Reporter, sources told THR that Idol producers hoped for a mid-season rating jaunt by replacing Mimi with J Lo.

The plot was reportedly foiled when Mimi's high powered legal team threatened to sue if she was replaced.  Now that the -ish has hit the fan, denials are coming from everywhere.  A Fox spokeswoman told THR "This is just another ridiculous Idol judge rumor, likely started by talks of Jennifer performing on the finale."  Meanwhile, "AI" producer Nigel Lythgoe told THR:"I have not been included in any conversation regarding replacing Mariah with Jen this season."  

So for now....Mimi is safe.  But do you think she's a good judge on "AI"?

A woman has filed a paternity suit claiming that the very-married rapper Layzie Bone of Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony is the father of her one-and-a-half year old child.  The plaintiff told TMZ that she filed the suit in October of 2012 and Layzie Bone hasn't responded at all!  

And since his Layzie self has not responded to the suit, the court could potentially enter a default judgement and declare him the father!  SMH. Either way, it's best he AND his wife make a decision about how their going to handle this situation because penalties and fines are continuing to mount!

Beyonce previews her "Standing In The Sun" song in her new H&M ad. Watch the commercial inside and see A$AP Rocky give his philosophy about life and things he doesn't understand in the May issue of GQ.

 

In her latest ad campaign for H&M, Beyonce treats her fans to a preview of her song "Standing In The Sun" written by Sia and Greg Kurstin.  

While starring as "Mrs. Carter" in the Jonas Akerlund-directed video, Bey models several bikinis as her banging bronzed bod get kissed by the sunlight.  Grab your fedoras and bikinis because it's about to get fabulously tropical.

Controversial rapper A$AP Rocky, who's currently trekking it with Rihanna on her Diamonds World Tour, modeled a few choice pieces for summer 2013 in the May issue of GQ.  The cocky fashion divo rapper, who commonly describes himself as "pretty", told the mag, "I wanted to model when I was younger. I was always into clothes and shit."  

He also gave an arrogant shout-out to menswear blogs who post pictures of him.  "I'm the man on those things. I don't really look at them. Well, I guess I do, but only when I'm looking at myself. I inspire me."

We wonder if he was offended that the stylist for the shoot paired him with a brown skinned girl wearing pinkish red lipstick.  You know how A$AP feels about the brown girls and those color lipsticks.   

Also, he gave a charming interview to GQ where he said anytime he doesn't understand something in life, his philosophy is to just say"F*ck It." Let's all follow him on Twitter and Instagram so we can stay inspired.  But all jokes aside, we're loving A$AP's music.  Dude is talented.

Well GOOD MORNING.  OKC Thunder baller Serge Ibaka is giving us some chocolate for our morning coffee today with his brand new photoshoot.  We've got what the NBA baller is serving in his new shirtless promo shoot...

He's 23 and taken.  But we can still look. 

Congolese-Spanish basketball player Serge Ibaka is busy with the NBA playoffs as his team is ranked #1 in the Western Conference.  But he's found time to give us some sexy in a brand new promo shoot.

He may be a little pissed that he was snubbed for the second year in a row for Defensive Player of the Year, but he can be our defensive player anytime.  Well, if Keri Hilson allows it.  He and his singer/songwriter boo have been dating for a few months now, even taking a sexy mini-vacay together to Cabo for Valentine's Day & during the All-Star break.

By the way, the 6'10 Serge, who played for his country Congo in the Summer Olympics, started his own company called Avec Classe--which focuses on the classy lifestyle of himself and the people around him.  And he speaks 5 languages.

Could he be any sexier?

The "1 Thing" singer, who's been married for nearly two years to husband/manager Lenny Nicholson, recently jetted of to Dubai to perform a few of her hit singles.

Though she hasn't released any new music since last year's buzz single "Every Time", we're sure the international fans at Cirque Du Soir were happy to see her.  They love YBf artists even when America doesn't pay much attention to them..

We're loving her auburn hair.

And before she hit the stage, she chilled poolside with international booker and party promoter Fred Frenchy.  Fun times.  Glad to see she's still doing her...
