Rihanna POSTS Controversial "Drinking" Flicks, Chris Brown's Dad FEARS Her "Party Attitude"

As Rihanna shared backstage drinking pics over the weekend, Chris Brown's dad opened up about her "party attitude" and why he didn't want them back together.  Find out what he said inside....

 photo ScreenShot2013-04-28at124006PM.png

Rihanna is infamous for posting controversial pics of her bad behavior, and this weekend was no different.  As she took a bottle straight to the head on Instagram, she captioned things like "Getting bent back here! #DWT #backstagelife" and "Po it thee phuck up!!! #backstageproblems"

 photo ScreenShot2013-04-28at124018PM.png

These antics have raise eyebrows among those close to the pop star, including Chris Brown's dad! In an exclusive interview with the NY Daily News, Clinton Brown revealed that he is NOT "Team Rihanna" saying,  "I personally really didn’t want him and Rihanna back together."

So who would Clinton prefer his son date?  The answer might shock you.  “I personally liked Jordin Sparks. She’s a wholesome young lady, very pretty.”

When asked why he doesn't think the relationship with Riri (shown above with bestie Melissa Forde) will last, Clinton said,

"You have to have a balance in a relationship. You have to have someone who is spontaneous and whimsical but you also have to have someone who is grounded and logical.”

 photo sephora1.jpg

And for folks wondering why Clinton casts a doubtful eye on Riri, even after his son was convicted of assaulting her in 2009, he says the "assault" wasn't one-sided. 

"One has to assume because they are back together that it wasn’t one-sided.  You just have to imagine it was a circumstance in which they both had a disagreement.”

In the future, he added that Rihanna would make a great mom...once she slows down.  But he doesn't see it happening with Chris.

“(Rihanna) would make a good mom. I think she would probably have to change some of her antics — the party attitude would probably have to change. I don’t think they would just whimsically and spontaneously have a child with them being in this mode. That’s why I don’t see it happening — but anything’s possible, man.”

 

It's interesting that Clinton was so forthcoming about Rihanna's "party" lifestyle.  We can't wait for the interview where he addresses his son's "issues."

VIDEO: Ray J's "I Hit It First" Featuring Bobby Brackins...And The Kim K. Look-A-Like

The video for Ray J's hit single "I Hit It First" has arrived and as expected, it features a Kim Kardashian doppleganger.  See the visual inside...

Though he claimed the song "I Hit It FIrst" was not about his ex-girlfirend and "co-star" Kim Kardashian, viewers of the J.R. Saint-directed clip may have a hard time seeing a difference between the reality star and her video vixen doppleganger. 

Ray-J constantly told media the song isn't necessarily about her and we would be "surprised" to see who he puts in the video.  But um, we're so not surprised.  Everybody and their mama predicted this.

The funny vid seemingly documents the life of Kim K. including references to Kanye West (there's a shot of Insterstate 94 "West" in Chicago) and Kris Humphries (a look-alike who plays basketball). 

After a G-rated romp in a bedroom that looks very similar to the one we saw in their X-rated video (and we know you saw that ish!), the video ends with Ray J watching his "girlfriend" go on to paparazzi stardom.  Not sure who else this could be about but....OK Ray-J.

Over the past few months, Tia has been blogging about Cree's "Terrible Twos" and Sunday was clearly no exception. Despite a day full of yummy snacks and kiddie rides...Cree still threw a tantrum.  But he's so cute doing it right?!

Lil Wayne and the rest of the Laker Nation suffered a tough season end last night.  Check out Weezy and his face that says he wan't feeling anything that went down, inside....

Last night at the Staples Center, the L.A. Lakers took on the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the playoffs.  And Kobe's team ended up getting swept after a tough loss.

Weezy sat courtside as he watched half of the Lakers starting lineup make their season debut....because they had to come up from the D-Leauge as the Lakers are currently plagued with injuries. 

 photo spl533171_001_zps88dd924b.jpg photo spl534338_001_zpsd934fb88.jpg

Clearly Wayne was feeling any of that ish...because his team barely escaped a shut out.  By the way, one of two regular starters, Dwight Howard, got ejected from the game after two technical fouls.  So Kobe Bryant, who majorly injured his Achilles Heel, made a surprise appearance on the sidelines to take over the leadership role.  Tough game to watch...feel better Weezy!

Sean Kingston has released the visual for his "Beat It" single featuring his boys Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa.  Watch the clip inside...

 

Sean Kingston has revealed the Colin Tilley-drected visual for "Beat It" video featuring Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa.  Kicking off Sean's Back 2 Life disc (due later this year), the video was shot at a mansion in Malibu and features the typical mix fast cars, swiming pools and flashy clothes.  And of course....there's a ton of T&A to go around.

 

Watch the video for "Beat It" here:

 

BONUS:

Despite his ongoing "feud" with Drake, Chris Brown didn't seem "insecure" at a party he hosted at NY hotspot Stage 48 earlier this month.  The DJ played Drake's "Started From The Bottom" and once the beat dropped, Chris partied along to the song...and liked it.  Maybe they'll put their differences aside and work together one day.  We're hoping....

COMING OUT: NBA CENTER Jason Collins PENS Open Letter On Becoming "The First Openly Gay Professional American Athlete"

 photo tumblr_mm0w4s4ZDw1qm9rypo1_1280.jpg

On the cover of the latest issue of Sports Illustrated, debuting May 6, NBA Center Jason Collins pens an emotional open letter where he announces himself to the world as "...the first openly gay athlete."  Read the letter inside...

 

The first few months of 2013 have definitely been interesting as far as sexuality and disclosure are concerned, as we've watched several high profile situations play out on social media...starring African American men.  While we watched Magic Johnson's son EJ openly embrace being "outed" by the media, we've also seen the flipside as NFL free agent Kerry Rhodesrefuted his "outing" despite a growing amount of "evidence" to suggest the contrary.  And we've also seenSen. Kelvin Atkinson of Nevada come "out" during "gay marriage" talks on the floor of the state senate.  Now...enter Washington Wizards baller James Collins. 

Everyone was tipped of during the midst of the EJ vs. Kerry "outings" that there would be at least four professional athletes coming out over the next few months and surprise surprise.....it's a "brother" leading the way.

It's only fitting that at the opening of his emotional letter to SI, James, who's now a free agent in the NBA, addresses himself first as an athlete, then by his race, and lastly...by his sexual preference.  And here in America...you already know which category will be his "lead" for the rest of his life....and he's fine with that. 

In his letter, readers unfamiliar with James will learn a lot about his life, including that he has a twin brother Jarron (who also played in the NBA) and random fact-- actor Jason Segal was his backup during their high school days at Harvard-Westlake in Cali

But what's most interesting is how the Boston Marathon bombing played a role in his decision to live his truth.

He wrote in Sports Illustrated:

 

I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay.

I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, "I'm different." If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand.

My journey of self-discovery and self-acknowledgement began in my hometown of Los Angeles and has taken me through two state high school championships, the NCAA Final Four and the Elite Eight, and nine playoffs in 12 NBA seasons.

I've played for six pro teams and have appeared in two NBA Finals. Ever heard of a parlor game called Three Degrees of Jason Collins? If you're in the league, and I haven't been your teammate, I surely have been one of your teammates' teammates. Or one of your teammates' teammates' teammates.

Now I'm a free agent, literally and figuratively. I've reached that enviable state in life in which I can do pretty much what I want. And what I want is to continue to play basketball. I still love the game, and I still have something to offer. My coaches and teammates recognize that. At the same time, I want to be genuine and authentic and truthful.

Why am I coming out now? Well, I started thinking about this in 2011 during the NBA player lockout. I'm a creature of routine. When the regular season ends I immediately dedicate myself to getting game ready for the opener of the next campaign in the fall. But the lockout wreaked havoc on my habits and forced me to confront who I really am and what I really want. With the season delayed, I trained and worked out. But I lacked the distraction that basketball had always provided.

The first relative I came out to was my aunt Teri, a superior court judge in San Francisco. Her reaction surprised me. "I've known you were gay for years," she said. From that moment on I was comfortable in my own skin. In her presence I ignored my censor button for the first time. She gave me support. The relief I felt was a sweet release. Imagine you're in the oven, baking. Some of us know and accept our sexuality right away and some need more time to cook. I should know -- I baked for 33 years.

When I was younger I dated women. I even got engaged. I thought I had to live a certain way. I thought I needed to marry a woman and raise kids with her. I kept telling myself the sky was red, but I always knew it was blue.

I realized I needed to go public when Joe Kennedy, my old roommate at Stanford and now a Massachusetts congressman, told me he had just marched in Boston's 2012 Gay Pride Parade. I'm seldom jealous of others, but hearing what Joe had done filled me with envy. I was proud of him for participating but angry that as a closeted gay man I couldn't even cheer my straight friend on as a spectator. If I'd been questioned, I would have concocted half truths. What a shame to have to lie at a celebration of pride. I want to do the right thing and not hide anymore. I want to march for tolerance, acceptance and understanding. I want to take a stand and say, "Me, too."

 

The NBA Commissioner David Stern and others have already written statements of support.  NBA champ Kobe Bryant tweeted today:

Proud of @jasoncollins34. Don't suffocate who u r because of the ignorance of others #courage #support #mambaarmystandup #BYOU

Read the full letter here.  Congrats to Jason on not being afraid to be HIM.

Fantasia made her way to "The View" today to tell the world exactly how much she's changed over the past couple of years.  She's 50 pounds lighter, 1 toxic relationship lighter, she apparently nailed down a stylist, and has re-focused her energy on her music and herself.

 

Check out her kiss from Whoopi inside, plus what she said about her recent rough times....

Fanny is ready for the limelight again as she makes her rounds promoting her upcoming studio album Side Effects of You.  She kicked it backstage at "The View" today with actress Rebel Wilson and Sheree Shepherd:

Fanny brought a bright outlook with a neon yellow blazer, white pants and white spiked Louboutins.

Fantasia also told her side of the "suicide attempt" situation when she reportedly tried to take her own life after things went awry with her ex, Antoine Cook, who was also married to someone else.

"I wouldn't say that, I would say I wanted away, I wanted peace.  I was taking care of everybody, holding everything down. And there were so many things that were going wrong in the career, being so young, winning ‘American Idol’ at 19, nobody really preps you. It just all goes so fast.”

Watch Lil' Kim perform "Get Money":

 

And in other music news....

Beyonce wants to keep her name on the tongues of all, so it seems everyday she's releasing something new.

The other Queen Bey and H&M have released behind-the-scenes footage of Beyonce's 2013 swimwear campaign. Shot in Nassau, Bahamas, the video offers commentary from director, Jonas Akerlund, H&M creative director Donald Schneider and choreographer Frank Gatson Jr.

J.Cole is making his second round count this summer with his upcoming album, Born Sinner.  Check out the rapper's newest joint "Cole Summer" as he salutes Lauryn Hill & D'Angelo, plus Chris Brown's brand new emotional track "I Can't Win"....

North Carolina rapper J.Cole is giving us a piece of his family life in his upcoming sophomore studio album. For the cover of his band new single he just dropped super late Monday night, "Cole Summer," we see an older white woman--who resembles his mother Kaye--mysteriously heading to a USPS truck. And it foreshadows the news...and music...to come.

"Work Out" rapper Jermaine sampled Lauryn Hill & D'Angelo's classic "Nothing Even Matters" and sped it up a bit for his new real-story style track. Check out the new "Cole Summer" below, and get ready for the June 25th release of Born Sinner....

 

Meanwhile, Chris Brown dropped a brand new track of his own Monday night, but it won't be appearing on his upcoming album X.  Chris simply had some ish to get off his chest.  And here it is...auto-tuned and packaged for your ears.  Check out "I Can't Win" below:

Does this track have anything to do with Breezy's latest drama of UNfollowing Rihanna on Twitter, hinting at more relationship strife, and then following (again) his ex Karrueche?  Hmm...

By the way, Breezy also used this opportunity to announce the new release date of his upcoming X album.  It's July 16th.  The summer of music continues....

Jason Collins' EX-FIANCEE Found Out He Was GAY.....LAST WEEK!

Carolyn Moos, the ex-fiancee of Jason Collins, dated the baller for eight years but never made it down the aisle.  Last week...he told her why.  See what she said about Jason "coming out" inside....

 

In 2009, NBA baller Jason Collins called off his wedding to fiancee Carolyn Moos with an off-court play that left her heartbroken and wondering "why?" Last week...she got her answer.

Before Jason became "the first openly gay professional American athlete", he made a long overdue phone call to his former girlfriend of eight years to explain why he abruptly ended their engagement.  Carolyn, a 6' 5" former WNBA player, opened up to TMZ about the intimate phone call her ex-fiance made to her a few days ago,  

"It's very emotional for me as a woman to have invested 8 years in my dream to have a husband, soul mate, and best friend in him. So this is all hard to understand."

Though he'd kept his fiancee and family members in the dark for many years, Jason talked to GMA's George Stephanopoulos during a taped interview this morning, and revealed why he was finally able to come out.

"I always knew I was gay, its like you know that the sky is blue but you keep telling yourself it is red. I fought it for a long time but when you finally get to the point of acceptance there is nothing more beautiful. It feels incredible.'

He also talked about his relationship with Carolyn and what stopped him from getting married saying, “Calling off the wedding was obviously a tough decision but it was the right one because I knew I wasn't getting married for the right reasons.”

And now that they've talked about what happened a few years ago, Carolyn says she's ready to move forward and isn't holding any grudges, 

"I care about [Jason] tremendously and only want the best for him. I want Jason to be happy for a lifetime and stay true to who he really is, inside and out."

With their due date quickly approaching, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian squeezed in time for another round of fancy shopping in the city of lights today. See KimYe on the streets of Paris inside.... 

Fresh from a family vacation in Greece, Kim Kardashian, in a scarlet maxi dress, reunited with Kanye West in Paris today where they were spotted out shopping.  Anything to ease the horrible pains of pregnancy Kim has spoken so much about.

Fans of the twosome will notice that the couple seem to spend most of their time in Paris running in and out of the city's high-end shops, and today was no exception. They were spotted hitting up Givenchy, Ferragamo, Hermes, Celine and Lanvin.

And with all of the shopping Kim and Kanye do together, and all the cash they make off reality shows and music, it makes sense that they're not asking friends for any baby gifts.  In fact, they've reportedly asked that fans and friends send donations to the Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago in honor of their child's birth.

A rep from the hospital applauded the couple saying,

"Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago would like to extend its sincerest gratitude to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West for their thoughtfulness and support of the hospital. Funds donated on behalf of Kardashian and West will be directed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Fund which will help care for the most critically ill babies and their families."

It's great that KimYe are using the birth of their beloved baby to shine a light on a worthy cause.  Hopefully the couple can crack a smile to go along with their such giving nature...

Oh how cute.  Future has a "C" tatoo'd on his finger obviously for his boo of four days months.  And it's in the same location as her own "N" tattoo that reps his real name.

The obligatory stacks of cash and bottles of Ace were overly present.

And "So Good" rapper B.o.B. came out for some fun too.

Meanwhile, Ciara is still gushing about her boo in interviews.  She told Nessa of MTV Jams  exactly how she feels:

"I'm with a person who makes me feel good. And makes me feel good in the universe."

And about that "N" tattoo on her finger that seems pretty obvious is for her man (whose government name is Nayvadius Cash), she did her usual and played coy:

"It's a tattoo and it represents something special. It's my first and I think only tattoo but we'll see."

Mmhmm.  Check the video below.
