Now that Beyonce showed her baby girl's face in her HBO documentary "Life Is But A Dream," she's got no qualms about throwing away that ever present blankie and letting Blue Ivy be free!

Beyonce is in Paris performing back-to-back sold out shows for her Mrs. Carter Tour, so it's only right her baby girl is right by her side, and so is papa Jay who offered up some kisses to his princess.

Cassie chatted with FOREVER 21 behind the scenes of her recent ad campaign where she dished on her style icon, who she'd like to collaborate with and why she cut her hair to begn with.  And we probably won't see her going back any time soon See her "10 questions" inside.....

 photo Cassie-Interview-Polaroids-21.jpg

While posing for the "FOREVER LA" Forever 21 campaign, RockAByeBaby artist Cassie answered 10 questions about a range of topics including what she loves about LA and what fashion means to her.  Oh, and that hair cut she's holding on to for dear life.  We've got a few below:

What five words pop into my head when I think of LA

Sunshine, palm trees, ocean, studio, and… Disneyland!

What did you enjoy about the FOREVER LA Shoot

I knew I was going to get partially in the water, but I didn’t know how much. I was actually submerged in it! What made me feel really good though was that everybody got in the water. Everybody was soaking wet head to toe. I felt like we all came together.

What was your favorite outfit at the shoot

I really liked the look where I was on the bike that reminded me of Mr. Cartoon and I had the lace veil. That was a really cool look!

What was your most memorable F21 shopping trip

I had the best Forever 21 shopping experience when I was in New York and me and my best friends went crazy. It’s a best friend store! I think we bought a lot of the same clothes: t-shirts and print leggings.

Who are you Style influences

The music industry has definitely influenced my style. I’ve taken more chances. Be it my hair or how baggy I want to wear my pants, I’m inspired by so many other artists and people. So when I see something I like, I like to try it in my own way.

Who do you want to work with

Collab I’m dying to do…I LOVE Lana Del Rey! I love the way she writes and her swag.

Who is your Style icon

Kate Moss. She’s just so effortless.

Why did you shave your head

I had long, big curly hair for so many years and I just wanted to try something different. I actually didn’t have the intentions of shaving so much hair but when I went there I wanted to go all the way and kind of land in punk. The next day I woke up and I was like “OMG, what did I do?!” but slowly over the next few weeks got more comfortable in it. Your hair doesn’t define you. Wear your hair how you feel.

On having a positive relationship with Lil Wayne's other children & their moms
“People like to make it into this big thing, but it’s really not. There’s peace and love and my son knows his siblings. We all get along. We all clearly keep getting along. I’m tired of talking about it. What else do you want me to say?”

On addressing the many rumors surrounding her:
“I’m very blunt and honest. I have a very loyal heart. If I love you, I ride for you if I don’t f*** with you, I don’t f*** with you…If you want the truth, call me.”

As Fantasia promoted her lastest album, Anthony talked up his film Pain & Gain which opens in theaters today.  During a recent interview with Huffington Post, he revealed about the fitness regimine he went to star alongside the fab abs of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Mark Walberg:

"Bodybuilding and weightlifting is more of a lifestyle more than anything else. So the diet part was easy, because it was just about staying focus and staying on your regime. It wasn’t like I had to eat anything or I couldn’t eat anything. It was all about putting together what nutrients I needed day-to-day to get enough of one thing or another in my body. So it was fairly easy for me. I ate a lot of lean protein like turkey and chicken. I got my carbs from sweet potatoes. So it became easier as time went on. But I tell you what, after three months of doing that I don’t want to see a piece of turkey or chicken for a long time."

Lauryn Hill Pens Another "OPEN LETTER" About Record Deal & Tax Woes, Drake Makes SURPRISE Appearance On "American Idol" + Snoop Lion & Cori B. PERFORM "No Guns"

0

 photo LaurynHillTaxSentencingYLSeJDBHH2Xl-1.jpg

Lauryn Hill has offered up an "open letter" to explain why she didn't pay her taxes and reveal her plans for new musiuc.  Read the letter inside and see Drake on "American Idol" and Snoop Lion on "The Late Show".

 

We told you previously that Lauryn Hill has been given some extra time to pay off her massive tax bill and that she'll be releasing new music.  Now, Lauryn has taken to her Tumblr page to bring fans up to speed on why she hasn't paid off her taxes and why you shouldn't believe that her new record deal was worth a reported $1 million.

During her verbose rant, she lays out a politically astute explanation about not making music (the conflict between art & commerce) and for not paying her taxes (the record company made the bulk of the money and left her in financial need).  This chick has more excuses than a lil bit.

One thing's for sure, her letter shows she still has what it takes to pack a punch with her words.  We just hope the new music and her singing voice as still up to par.

Here's the letter:

It has been reported that I signed a new record deal, and that I did this to pay taxes. Yes, I have recently entered into an agreement with Sony Worldwide Entertainment, to launch a new label, on which my new music will be released. And yes, I am working on new music.

I’ve remained silent, after an extensive healing process. This has been a 10+ year battle, for a long time played out behind closed doors, but now in front of the public eye. This is an old conflict between art and commerce… free minds, and minds that are perhaps overly tethered to structure. This is about inequity, and the resulting disenfranchisement caused by it. I’ve been fighting for existential and economic freedom, which means the freedom to create and live without someone threatening, controlling, and/or manipulating the art and the artist, by tying the purse strings.

It took years for me to get out of the ‘parasitic’ dynamic of my youth, and into a deal that better reflects my true contribution as an artist, and (purportedly) gives me the control necessary to create a paradigm suitable for my needs. I have been working towards this for a long time, not just because of my current legal situation, but because I am an artist, I love to create, and I need the proper platform to do so.

The nature of my new business venture, as well as the dollar amount reported, was inaccurate, only a portion of the overall deal. Keep in mind, my past recordings have sold over 50,000,000 units worldwide, earning the label a tremendous amount of money (a fraction of which actually came to me).

Only a completely complicated set of traps, manipulations, and inequitable business arrangements could put someone who has accomplished the things that I have, financially in need of anything. I am one artist who finds value in openly discussing the dynamics within this industry that force artists to compromise or distort themselves and what they do, rather than allowing them to make the music that people need. There are volumes that could (and will) be said.

MLH

Girl...pay those taxes...

 

And on "American Idol":

Drake made a surprise appearance on "American Idol" last night to offer some words of encouragement to one of his biggest fans, finalist Candace Glover.  In response to Candance's performance of his "Find Your Love" song, he told her, "You have an angelic voice. I almost wish you were there in the studio creating it with me. I feel like we could have brought it to life together." 

The appearance was hooked up by Drake's labelmate, "Idol" judge Nicki Minaj.  Drizzy later tweeted, @NICKIMINAJ is an incredible person for setting that up. Love you always. Thank you!”

And on "The Late Show":


 

Snoop Lion hit the stage with his daughter Cori B. to perform their anti-gun violence track "No Guns Allowed" on "The Late Show with David Letterman." The song appears on Snoop's Reincarnated disc.  How cute is this father-daughter duo?!

Jennifer Lopez revealed a few deets about her upcoming Chris Brown collaboration recently. Find out what she said inside and see what Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson said about rumors of Mariah Carey being replaced and watch Sean Kingston's behind the scenes footage from the "Beat It" shoot.

 

We told you previously that Jennifer Lopez had hooked up with Chris Brown and producer Cory Rooney to recapture some of tha "Jenny From The Block" magic, and during an recent interview with Extra's Mario Lopez, she offered a little more insight.  She said, 

“Yes, when we were in the studio, writing songs and just getting that ‘Jenny from the Block’ flavor back." She added, “We actually worked on a bunch of [title] ideas… and we talked about doing a duet together for his album.”

And in addition to new music, she was recently honored for her charitable efforts when Muhammad Ali presented her with a humanitarian award at Celebrity Fight Night.  She explained the origin of the Lopez Family Foundation to Mario saying,

“It's something Lynda (her sister) and I talked about for many years… when we both got pregnant at the same time it felt like… this is the right time to start it. Let's do it. Let's start the Lopez Family Foundation and make it about women and children and healthcare.”

 

Watch the interview here:

And over at "American Idol"......

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player

 

"American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest talked to “Extra’s”Terri Seymour recently where he disputed rumors about Mariah Carey being replaced by Jennifer Lopez. He said, "I had not heard about that before that report. I saw Mariah that day and she was firmly planted in that seat, and I see her tonight and I think she was firmly planted in that seat, I don’t think she is going anywhere.”

Meanwhile, Mariah's good friend and fellow "AI" judge Randy Jackson added, “It’s so weird, it sounds so ridiculous… you hear rumors about these shows all the time. This one was so ridiculous of an idea… anyway, I think that would have hurt a lot of things.”

So we guess Mariah is "safe".....until the executives vote again!!??

 

And in music video previews......

Sean Kingston recently shared behind the scenes footage from his new "Beat It" video featuring Wiz Khalifa and Chris Brown. Shot at a secret location in Malibu, he told Rap-Up.com,

“I’m 23, we all grown, so you really see us in a different light. We’re in suits, hot in fashion, just very swag and everything’s real tasteful. Helicopters, luxury cars, Ferraris, classic cars…”

Colin Tilley directed the clip which will premiere on April 29. Meanwhile, Seans Back 2 Life disc drops later this year.

Previously, we told you that Mrs. Carter had banned photographers from her live shows, and now the only professional pics you'll see of her on-stage are those hand picked by her and her team.

We imagine Bey knows exactly when she'll be photographed and the show's photographer, Frank Micelotta, knows exactly when to press "click". We don't mind...it makes for a great picture.

 

And in new releases....

On his East Village radio show, producer Mark Ronson debuted the "Back To Black" remake that Beyonce and Andre 3000 created for The Great Gatsby soundtrack (May 7).  When asked what he thought about Bey and Andre remaking the Amy Winehouse track, he said“I’m flattered and honored. I know Amy would be too."

Helmed by executive producer Jay-Z, the soundtrack will feature Fergie, Q-Tip, Lana Del Rey, Emeli Sandé, will.i.am, and others.

Tia, who's been married to Hollywood hearthrob Cory Hardrict (Lovelace,"Let's Stay Together") for five years, posted a few tips on her lifestyle blog about keeping the romance alive. She said:

 

Go on unique dates: Crazy, adrenaline-rushing activities are so much fun to do with your significant other, but even a low key hike through a trail you’ve never been to before can get you out of a relationship rut.

Show your love: You might not think the little things matter once you’ve been together for a while, but they really do. Small things like flowers or handwritten notes really show your significant other you don’t take them for granted. It also helps remind you of the excitement you felt when your relationship first started.

Be verbal: A lot of times, all it takes is a couple of loving words here and there every day to keep a relationship strong throughout the years. Don’t be afraid to tell your significant other you’re proud of him, or love him, or that think he looks sexy after mowing the lawn!

Get sexy: After you’ve been with one person for awhile, it’s easy to fall into what I call the “sweats” rut. That is, you no longer feel like you have to impress them and start paying less and less attention to your appearance, and every day becomes a sweats and t-shirt kind of day. Now I’m definitely not saying that you need to be frantically hitting the gym everyday to keep the body you had 5 years ago, but it is important to remember to still make an effort sometimes.

And here's what Tia ALSO suggests to keep things spicy:

Christina Milian dons some of the season's hottest swimwear for the May 2013 issue of Cosmopolitan Latina.  See pics from the magazine inside as well as LaLa Anthony dishing on becoming a makeup mogul.  

For the 2013 issue of Cosmopolitan Latina, Christina Milian donned some eye-catching swimwear and talked to the magazine about her high-profile gig on "The Voice", what its like working on her debut disc for Cash Money records and how she and her girlfriends spend their downtime.  Here are the highlights:

On the best part about working on "The Voice:"

"Seeing artists take a chance in front of the world. And of course, the coaches are awesome: Blake's like my brother, and Shakira's a sweetheart. Usher, too. I'm such a fan; we toured together."

On what draws her to the studio:

"My experiences: being in love, being hurt, wanting to be free and growing from it. I've expressed all that on songs. That's the greatest thing: an experience you can grow from. I'm more vocal about my ideas in person and music."

On her down time with girls:

“We love to vacation, drink wine, and gossip with each other about our own lives — we call it, 'Wine Time.'"

HOMELESS??!! Fantasia GIVES UP Her McMansion, TURNS Million Dollar HOME Over To The BANK

After failing to land a buyer, Fantasia reportedly turned her North Carolina mansion to her primary lender...the bank. Details inside....

 

It's a good thing Fantasia is crisscrossing around the country to promote her Side Effect Of You disc because its being reported that she DOES NOT have a home to return to.  

Longtime Fanny fans may recall that she'd been have a hard time keeping up with her mortgage payments on her North Carolina home for many many years...and now she's finally thrown in the towel. 

After she avoided foreclosure (at the last minute) in 2009, she put the mini-mansion (feature on VH1 reality show "Fantasia For Real") on the market for $800K, a figure $500K less than what she paid for it.  Still....there were no takers.

Now, recently disclosed court documents revealed that in February, Fantasia decided to skip the foreclosure process and simply turned over the keys to the bank.  On the bright side, all of the pain associated with that process was likely poured into her current hit single "Lose To Win" which has put her back on the charts.

Though Fantasia didn't walk away with a dime for the home she lived it for so many years, it looks like hit records are the side effects of foreclosure.

E! News correspondent Alicia Quarles looked amazing.

Funnyman Conan O'Brien had the audience in stitches with jokes like,  "I have a question, and I think some of you also have this question. It's been several months since you were reelected, sir, so I'm curious, why are you still sending everyone five emails a day asking for more money? You won! Do you have a gambling problem we don't know about?"

"Did you put it all on Gonzaga?"(A reference to the president's NCAA March Madness college basketball bracket) "You did, didn't you? He did!"

 photo whc2014.jpg

And President Obama wasn't a slouch in the jokes department either.  He entered the room to DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win."

He also told the audience, "I still make rookie mistakes...Like, I’m out in California, we’re at a fundraiser, we’re having a nice time and I happened to mention that Kamala Harris is the best looking attorney general in the country. As you might imagine, I got in trouble when I got back home. Who knew Eric Holder was so sensitive?"

And while joking that, "I'm not the strapping young Socialist that I used to be", he took a page from out of the FLOTUS playbook and added "bangs" for a fresher look. 

He also joked about the Carters' Cuban Crisis saying, "I’ve got 99 problems and now Jay-Z is one."

NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan (shown above) and his new bride Yvette Prieto were serenaded by Usher yesterday after a star-studded West Palm Beach wedding attended by Tiger Woods, Ahmad Rashad, Scottie Pippen and Patrick Ewing. See photos inside....

 photo yvetteprieto.jpg

Yesterday, Michael Jordan walked down the aisle, for the second time, to wed longtime girlfriend Yvette Prieto during a super private ceremony in West Palm Beach, FL.

The actual ceremony took place at the Bethesda-By-The-Sea Episcopal Church (the same place Donald Trump married Melania) with 2,000 invited guests.

Umbrellas were used to prevent cameras from snapping the arrival of the bride.

Though we haven't seen pics of the bride and groom, photographers were able to snap the arrival of the bridal party.

One of Michael's former rivals, NY Knicks Hall of Famer, Patrick Ewing, was among the high-profile guests.

Notorious cheater Tiger Woods and Ahmad Rashad, who's going through a nasty split with Sale Johnson, came out to celebrate their golf buddy's nuptials. Hmm...we wonder what advice THESE TWO gave the groom during the bachelor party.

Photographers and fans stood behind barricades to catch the happenings.

So how did the guests party AFTER the wedding?  Sources  say Usher was booked to perform at the reception which was held underneath a tent near Michael's 38,000 sq.ft. home in the Bears Club area of Jupiter, Fla (a town in Palm Beach County).  Commenting about the setup, one source told Gossip Extra,

“Three tents are being put up in his backyard, over the surface of two football fields.  I calculated a total under-roof space of about 600 feet long by 150 feet wide. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve been working weddings for a while. It looks like he’s having about 2,000 people over.”

 

Congrats to the bride and groom...
