In the latest issue of ROLLING OUT, Evelyn Lozada reveals how her daughter Shanice helped her through the roughest time in her life.  Read their story and see the hot mom & daughter pics inside....

In a special Mother's Day edition of Rolling Out, "BBW" star Evelyn Lozada posed for a mother-daughter spread with her 20-year-old daughter Shaniece, where they discussed being best friends and leaning on each other for support.  Evelyn said,

“We are always together, and even when one of us is away, [we're] constantly check in with each other. But that’s how it has always been between us since the beginning. Even though I had her young, I always made sure that she knew I was mom, but that she could also come to me and confide in me about anything."

Evelyn also revealed how Shaniece was her comforter through the Chad Ochocinco domestic abuse scandal.  Here are the highlights:

Shaniece, as you reflect on the relationship that you have with your mother, can you think of a time when you were really proud of her, and were proud that she was your mother?

Shaniece: When she left her domestic abuse relationship, I was really proud of her. I felt like she stood up for herself, and I think that she set a good example for other women. I knew that she had it in her, but I don’t think that everyone else did, so I’m really proud of her for that.

Before this moment, have you let her know how proud of her you are for that?

Shaniece: Yeah, she knows … and we’ve been together since then.

Evelyn: We were literally together for eight months since that happened [crying] … I even slept with her. After everything happened, and my life was upside down, it was tough because I had to live all of that out in the public … everybody had an opinion, and even now I’m sure there will be some people who say “b—-, you’re still crying over that?” … but she went through that with me from the beginning. She went to the hospital with me.

Shaniece: It was crazy, because I wasn’t even supposed to be there. I was living in L.A. and she was living in Miami, and I just happened to be there when it happened.

Evelyn: She was on vacation, and she was home when the situation happened, and it was very humiliating for me to have her see me like that. It was probably one of the biggest low points of my life — especially because I’m so protective of her. I’m mom, and I’m supposed to be strong, so it was hard to have her see me like that … so we were literally connected at the hip from that point on.

Shaniece: I think that it made us closer. Strangely, I didn’t think that we could get any closer, but I think that the situation made us grow closer.

Read the full interview here.  And more pics below.  It's clear where Shaniece gets her looks from:

Erykah Badu Does HILARIOUS Interview With Kendrick Lamar + Alicia Keys Writes To Judge To Save Lauryn Hill...& Lauryn Says Thanks

Erykah Badu switched jobs for a day to work for Interview magazine.  And her first subject...is hot rapper Kendrick Lamar.  Check out what she asked him about how he chooses groupies, who he's scared of having his business out there and more...

In the latest issue of Interview magazine, Erykah Badu plays reporter and interviews "Swimming Pools" rapper Kendrick Lamar about his cereal, his groupies and more.  But our fave answer?  His insightful comment about what he envies about women.  This could be the reason chicks love his music so much.

Here are the highlights from their Interview chit chat:

BADU: How do you choose chicks from backstage?
LAMAR: How do I choose chicks from backstage?
BADU: Yeah, what is the protocol?
LAMAR: I try not to. [laughs] I’m too scared. Anybody who knows me knows that I’m probably the most scared person when it comes to that because I’m so caught up in the act of sex, of something going crazy, going out of my control. I’m too paranoid.
BADU: [laughs] So you just pass?
LAMAR: I’ve got to because I’ve seen a situation where it got totally out of hand, where something seemed so innocent, and now this person has got allegations on them. It spooked me. This was before my career really started, though—before any “Kendrick Lamar.” And that right there? It changed my whole perception about certain things. I’ll always keep that in the back of my head.

BADU: So who is your asshole-checker?
LAMAR: Who is my what?
BADU: Your asshole-checker—the person in your crew or your family who let’s you know if you’re being a asshole.
LAMAR: I have two, actually. [both laugh] But the main one is a friend of mine—a lady friend who has known me since high school. She has always been someone, since day one, who has said something whenever I’m an asshole, or also if I’m doin’ something positive—but more so when I’m out of my element.

BADU: What’s your favorite cereal?
LAMAR: Fruity Pebbles. When people ask for my rider, they think I’m crazy: Fruity Pebbles, baked chicken, bottle of Hennessy, and some Polo socks.

BADU: What do you, as a man, envy about what it means to be a woman?
LAMAR: There’s just a certain knowledge instilled in a woman. There are these things that women have that men just can’t grasp: the understanding of love; the understanding of being; having a certain type of care in your heart and knowing when to be compassionate; knowing how to be a confidante…
BADU: That’s a good perspective. Something I envy that men have is that ability to grow a goatee. I think that’d be really hot on me.

And one of the only normal questions:

ERYKAH BADU: Can you describe how it feels to be in this cyclone of good fortune that you're experiencing right now? How are you handling all of it?

KENDRICK LAMAR: I always thought money was something just to make me happy. But I've learned that I feel better being able to help my folks, 'cause we never had nothing. So just to see them excited about my career is more of a blessing than me actually having it for myself. My folks ain't graduated from high school or nothing like that, so we always had to struggle in the family—and I come from a big family. But as far as me handling this, it's a weird feeling because it's like a blur right now. I think my worst problem is actually living in the moment and understanding everything that's going on. I feel like I'm in my own bubble. People tell me all the time, "You're crazy, going there by yourself," because it wouldn't have soaked in yet that I'm supposed to be quote "Kendrick Lamar"—whoever this guy's supposed to be. I still feel like me. So it's really about me trying to adapt—that's like the toughest thing for me right now. I feel like I'm in my own world.

 

Meanwhile, some singers are reaching out on Lauryn Hill's behalf to make please to her judge in her tax evasion case.  And on her Tumblr, Lauryn pointed out both Alicia Keys & Stevie (as well as the name of each fan who reached out) as being two of the celebs going to bat for her:

"I want to extend a sincere thank you to the following people, who wrote letters to the judge on my behalf: Linda Banks, Edison, NJ Davonne Breedlove Binna Choi, Beijing, China Hafiz Farid, East Orange, NJ Miriam Anne Banks Farrakhan, Union, NJ Vincent Gardner, New York, NY Michael Green, Fair Bluff, NC Elitta Harden, Ft Worth, TX Mrs. Valarie Hill, South Orange, NJ Maureen Hogan, Jersey City, NJ Walter Jones, New York, NY Alicia Keys Elena Lau, Toronto, Canada Jerald Miller, New York, NY Tracy Morris, Jacksonville Beach, FL Elise Munoz, France Bunmi Olukoya, Laurel, MD Jimmie Pierre, Trenton, NJ Cherisse Pittman Gabrielle Fulton Ponder, Atlanta, GA Dominique Reese, Oakland, CA Chris Schwartz, Philadelphia, PA Ashley Scott, Brooklyn, NY Derek Singletary, Astoria, NY Dr. Sara Tai, Manchester, UK Suzette Williams, Teaneck, NJ Lisa Willis, Philadelphia, PA Stevie Wonder Jonathan Wunderlich, Cabarete, DR"

Sweet.

And she expressed her gratitude to all her supporters:

"And thank you Jerald Miller, for taking the initiative to put this together. I also want to thank all of my family, friends, business associates, and fans who have called, emailed, sent texts, and posted messages of concern, encouragement, and support. I appreciate the well wishes, and I thank you for your prayers. Also, to anyone who may have written letters that we did not know about, thank you also, all of you. I will have more to say soon, but did not want to further delay expressing my appreciation. Thank you again, MLH"

Keep you rhead up L Boogie!

YBF PREMIERE: Sevyn Streeter Covers Aaliyah's "Come Over"

Sevyn Streeter, one of Chris Brown's newest talented artists on his CBE label, is proving to the masses that her pipes are worthy to be listened to.  She covered the late Aaliyah's "Come Over."  So decide inside if you're loving it...

This 26-year-old Florida native isn't new to the music scene, but she is new to the solo scene.  Now that she's making her solo debut after her time in the group RichGirl, Sevyn's proving why she's a fresh face we've gotta watch.

Since Aaliyah was one of her biggest musical inspirations growing up, Sevyn recently recorded a cover for the late singer's song "Come Over."

While recently out on a promo tour, Sevyn made a trip to Aaliyah’s high school in Detroit and saw how much impact one artist can have on generations to come.  So she penned an open letter to Aaliyah (which she posted on her site) about how big of an inspiration the singer was to her.  She said in part:

"You made us feel comfortable in our own skin...we feel just as comfortable in our sweats and sneakers as we do in our jeans and heel....Putting in the Dr. Doolittle soundtrack--and learning the choreography to "Are You That Somebody" on the porch....That's what you did.  You made us all feel like we were good enough to be you."

 

Check out the rest over on her website and a pic below:

And we've got the exclusive premiere of Sevyn's cover of "Come Over" below.  And we think even true Aaliyah fans would be impressed:

KISS OFF: Judge Halts Kobe's Mom From AUCTIONING OFF Kobe's Memorabilia

Kobe Bryant's mother, Pamela Bryant, may never see the big payoff she was hoping for now that a judge has put a "time out" on the auction of her son's memorabilia.  Get the deets on the new development inside....

 

Kobe Bryant's legal team scored a slam dunk, this week, after a judge halted his mom's plans to sell his basketball memorabilia at auction.  If you'll recall, Kobe filed a lawsuit on his mother and Goldin Auctions to stop them from selling off his ish.  He said she was only selling his vintage memorabilia that was left at her house because he wouldn't give her money for an expensive new house.  And this is ow she was going to get that cash.  He also claims she STOLE some items from him as well.

Kobe's mom claims he gave up rights to the items.

TMZ reports that a judge issued a temporary restraining order against Goldin Auctions which stops them from selling off Kobe's memorabilia until a full hearing can be held next Monday.

Since Kobe and his mom Pamela don't agree on who the stuff belongs to, it looks like a judge will decide who gets to keep everything.  Kobe & his parents have had a rocky relationship ever since he married Vanessa, but who knew it would come to this?

 

The Randomness:

1.  With head honcho Anna Wintour rumored to not be a Kardashian fan in the least bit, VOGUE shaded the hell out of Kim Kardashian by deliberately cropping her out of a picture with Kanye, who they put on the 2013 Met Ball Best Dressed list on their website.  WOMP.  STORY

Jada Pinkett Smith and daughter Willow raised awareness for the anti-slavery movement last night.  Learn more about their cause inside and see Alicia Keys perform on "American Idol." 

 photo cast3.jpg

Last night, Jada Pinkett hosted the 15th Annual From Slavery to Freedom Event. The evening honored business leaders, volunteers, donors and students who are invested in social and systemic changes that aim to end modern-day slavery. You'll recall that Jada has done several PSAs about human trafficking and other forms of modern-day slavery as the issue is close to her heart.

 photo cast1.jpg

Jada's fashionably eccentric daughter, Willow, supported her at the event, held at the Sofitel Hotel in Los Angeles.  The younger Smith turned heads on the red carpet in a stripped pantsuit with a cropped leather jacket and bowler hat. 

 photo cast2.jpg

Jada, who wore a salmon-colored trouser suit, was also supported by singer Nicole Scherzinger, who attended in a sexy white slash-neck midi dress, which she belted at the waist.

After the event, Jada continued her efforts to raise awareness, tweeting her followers, "The #antislavery stats matter b/c they represent real people. We need to share stories that show stats AND dignify survivors. #DSBChat.'"

In other news about Jada, she's set to produce a romantic drama called Salsa, starring the William Levy, who's known as "the Cuban Brad Pitt."
 

And in television performances....

Alicia Keys appeared on "American Idol" last night where she sang "Tears Always Win".  Apparently, the singer was a nervous before she hit the stage to performed the Bruno Mars-penned tune tweeting, “Looking at the audience is giving me butterflyz!!!. Feels like I’m trying out for the show too!!!”  But Ms. Keys had no need to worry, her vocals were amazing and we're sure she got America's vote!

Rocking a printed satin Prabal Gurung cocktail dress, our fabulous First Lady hosted women of service for the annual White House Mother's Day Tea.  And even though it's a repeat from her 2012 appearance on "Live! With Kelly & Michael", we're adoring the look once again:

And we're also adoring that ridiculously cute Prince Harry.  The British Royal popped up to surprise all the ladies at the tea as he's traveling around thanking military service people for their work. First Mom Michelle said inside the stateroom yesterday alongside Dr. Jill Biden:

"For the past few years, [Prince Harry] has focused on honoring the sacrifice and service of our veterans and military families, especially now that the war in Afghanistan is drawing to a close."

Nicki Minaj Says She THOUGHT Mariah Carey Was Her Friend, Doesn't Regret Doing "American Idol" (E! Interview) + Porsha Stewart LANDS Role On “The Rickey Smiley Show.”

Nicki Minaj sat down with Ryan Seacrest to talk about her uncomfortable relationship with Mariah Carey and rumors about her departure from "American Idol." See what she said inside and get the deets on Porsha Stewart's new acting gig.....

 

TV viewers may not know the final three contestants on  "American Idol", but they sure know about the drama at the judges' table between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj.  During a chat with "AI" host Ryan Seacrest for E! News last night, Nicki talked about her famous feud with Mimi and answered if she would be returning next year.

In discussing her "feud" with "Beautiful" singer Mariah, Nicki said they started out as friends...or so she thought.  She soon realized that Mariah was, as hse claims, insecure and threatened by her shine. 

"Imagine someone that you loved your whole life...imagine you meeting them and then all of a sudden feeling like you did something horrible to them but you just don't know what you did," she told Seacrest. "That's what my relationship with Mariah is, and that's what it's been from the beginning. I just really thought that we were friends, but...that's the other thing I learned that this industry is so fake. You walk away thinking people are your friends and they're not. It's a couple nice hi and byes and then really, you better not step on nobody's toes. And God forbid you get a little shine. And God forbid you're maybe witty or quick on your toes or make someone laugh. Then maybe you're making another person feel insecure. And you shouldn't have to dim your light to let another person shine."

And when asked if she planned to return next year, Nicki didn't give a straight answer but offered up a "sales pitch" about how much she loved the show. 

"That's a million-dollar question," she laughs. "I have to say this all the time, but I want people to know it's genuinely from my heart. I love the people on Idol. I genuinely do. If I had to do this all over again, I would have done Idol. Because it's fun, it's laughs. It's kind of sad that what people read all the time is only when something is negative. But they don't realize that we built a family. I feel happy here and I have to thank them for giving me this chance. They could have picked anyone in the world. And they picked me. So that's all I'll say about that."

Porsha Stewart has landed an acting gig on "The Rickey Smiley Show."  It's time for chick to make her own money since her divorce is pending, so she's going the Hollywood route.  The "RHOA" star tweeted from the set,

"I’ve arrived! So excited on the set of my first TV acting role! Thanks guys my trailer is amazing!  Reading the script. This is going to be so fun!”

Porsha didn't reveal what role she would be playing or if this is a one-shot cameo, but we think her personality will mesh well with Ricky's comedy.  And during a hilarious appearance on Rickey's radio show, she refuted rumors that her divorce was fake and jokingly declined an "application" from Rickey...

QUIET FOR THE HOUSE HUNTERS! Kanye & Kim Search For A New Lover's Pad In Beverly Hills (PLUS Kanye GOES OFF On Paparazzo After Walking Into A Steel Pole!)

Fresh off their much talked about appearance at the 2013 MET Ball in NYC, Kanye West and his woman Kim Kardashian jetted to L.A. so Kanye could film his cameo for the upcoming Anchorman 2 movie....and so they could look for a new home in Beverly Hills.

 

Pics of the house hunters inside....

When Anna Wintour (and/or her people) had Kim K.'s floral tragedy from the MET Ball cropped out of a pic with Kanye that they posted on VOGUE's website today, it was the shade felt around the world.

But it looks like Kim isn't fazed by it as she and her man Kanye are on the search for another mansion to make their love shack.  The twosome were spotted out in Beverly Hills today on the hunt.  And we have no idea why Kanye was Shhh'ing folks:

 photo brai1_zps667cad97.jpg photo brai3_zps262790e5.jpg

The first home they bought together, in Bel Air, several months ago, they ended up selling two months after for a quick profit.  Apparently, they want something bigger and better than 10,000 square feet for $11 million. 

Must be nice...

*UPDATE*  When Kanye & Kim were walking on the street, Kanye was so busy trying to duck his head to doge the paparazzi cameras, that he walked smack dab into a sign with a steel bar.  After holding his head and Kim running to cradle him, Kanye popped off on a pap about folling him with cameras.  TMZ has the video.

How embarrasing...

And if you loved her look at the 2013 MET Ball as much as we did, VOGUE followed her as she got ready with Opening Ceremony's Humberto Leon.  Check out how they created magic inside her NYC hotel room:

In a new PSA for the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, Mister Cee admits to having an addiction and urges people get tested for STDs.  Watch the PSA inside and get deets about Nick Cannon reviving "Soul Train".  

After a  long week of denials, Mister Cee has released a PSA on behalf of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation where he encourages listeners to use condoms and refrain from risky behavior.  In the clip, he admits to having an "addiction" and says he's getting help.  You'll recall that he told HOT 97 listeners that his addiction is to "instant gratification" not prostitutes.  SMH...  

And in television news...

"America's Got Talent" host Nick Cannon has purchased the rights to "Soul Train."  The "RHOH" star plans to revamp the show and bring it back to the small screen with a total overhaul in the next few months.  A source close to Nick's camp joked that Nick now"owns everything except Don Cornelius' corpse."  

Are you ready to get on board?

TV SHAKEUP: NeNe Leakes' "The New Normal" & J-Hud's "Smash" CANCELLED! + "Scandal" Gets Renewed For Third Season!

Gladiators rejoice!  "Scandal" has been officially renewed for a season 3.  But NeNe Leakes & Jennifer Hudson weren't so lucky in the TV department.  Check out who got the axe and who's coming back inside...

Now that (we think) we pretty much know who the mole is (can we talk about how everyone needed a BOTTLE of wine while watching that last episode?), it's only right we continue the rollercoaster-o-scandals with a Season 3.  ABC has renewed Kerry Washington and co. for a season 3.  So more of OliFitz, Quinn & Huck's lethal shenanigans, and Harrison possibly taking over Pope & Associates are all on the way!

By the way, last week's episode copped a series HIGH in ratings, beating out "Idol".  And next week's season finale will probably be the best ish on TV period.

Genius creator and writer Shonda Rhimes responded to the news about their NAACP Award winning show saying:

And now I can tell you that GA Season 10 Writers Room and Scandal Season 3 Writers Room have been going since May 1. So we're already ahead.

Yassssss.  On another note, Kerry's new movie Peeples is bombing at the box office in the #3 spot this opening weekend.  But it's all good.  She's got a hit show on her hands so she still WINS.

ABC also renewed a few of our other faves: "Suburgatory," "Revenge," "Shark Tank" & "Modern Family."

But there were lots of shows on the chopping block yesterday.  And one of NeNe's 3 shows was one of them.  While she'll be continuing on as "Coach Roz" on "Glee," she won't be on "The New Normal."  Because that show just got axed.  NBC seemed to pretty much clean house as most of their new shows and a few of the veteran shows all got the boot.

NeNe spoke on about the cancellation saying:

I worked wit some of the most amazing people ever on The New Normal! I love u all! We will meet again...I love my fairy God Mother @MrRPMurphy & @AliAdler 4 believing n me & givin me an amazing opportunity! No mo New Normal but we r forever

But don't cry for NeNe!  She's got "Glee" and "RHOA" and her new wedding reality show spinoff "I Dream of NeNe" all to keep her cozy at night.  Work.

Weight Watchers spokeswoman Jennifer Hudson also won't be appearing on network tv this fall.  After two seasons, and this last season barely got the greenlight, NBC gave "Smash" the axe.

The show tried to give Jennifer a more prominent role to beef up ratings, but that apparently didn't work.

So Jenny will be focusing on belting out those Weight Watchers tunes every 5 minutes on commercials and working on her own music.

 

The Randomness:

1.  The Butler movie release date has now been pushed to August 16th. STORY

2.  "Beverly Hills Cop" tv show has been rejected by CBS, and is being shopped to other networks.  STORY

3.  Regina King's show "Southland" and Hill Harper-starring "CSI: NY" both got cancelled. STORY

4.  Damon Wayans Jr. and his "Happy Endings" show--cancelled by ABC.

Celeb couples are blowing up their Instagrams with cutesy pics to let everyone in on their love.  And to prove it's real, we think.  Check out rapper Big Sean and his new boo Naya Rivera chillin' in Hawaii, plus Chanel Iman in a compromising position with her man A$AP Rocky...

Well aren't they...cute.  If you're one of the folks saying Big Sean is only with "Glee" star Naya Rivera for publicity, the twosome are showing they've got some real laid back love.  Or something.

The twosome snapped a few cute pics while vacationing (even though Sean said he's working the whole time while he's there and this was his one day off).

And the two have been gushing about each other.  Sean tweeted the above pic saying "A pretty girl on my balcony."

And Naya tweeted the above pic of Sean saying, "Legendary."  Oh.  She also gushed to E! News about her man in the first interview where she talks about him openly:

“He’s awesome and I’m really happy and I feel like I’m in a really good place in my life. So yeah, we’re doing really well!”

 Check out a Vine vid they shot while playing around at a luau:

 

Meanwhile, rapper A$Ap Rocky has a break from Rihanna's Diamonds World Tour.  And he's spending it smoking some blunts and getting kisses from his model girlfriend Chanel Iman, who's straddling him on his lap, in between puffs:

Yep....and they posted it.  Love for the world to see.  Gotta love that.

 

The Randomness:

1.  Speaking of public love, Michael Jordan and his new wife Yvette were spotted honeymooning in Greece--beer, cigars and yachts galore. STORY

Aww Kanye.  It's been a rough start to the weekend with him walking head first into a steel pole, then getting caught going BEZERK on cameramen...twice...and now a couple of his songs got previewed in Poland.  And folks are wondering why he's still going at Kris Humphries....

 photo spl541179_006_zps2d334232.jpg

Kanye West was spotted leaving his baby mom Kim Kardashian's house early this morning in L.A.  And the bump from yesterday's run-in..well, walk-in.... with a steel pole has popped up on his forehead.

As Kanye prepares to drop a new album, DJ Hudson Mohawke, who's also in the G.O.O.D. Music fam, previewed some of his new tracks at the Freeform Festival in Poland.

Part 1

This first one may be a track he worked on with Daft Punk and sounds like the same song he performed at the MET Gala. And he unleashed another diss to Kris Humphries in a line saying: “Black d*ck in your spouse again”.

Part 2

Check out the second one as well.

By the way, a new video has been released of Kanye popping off on photogs after he slammed his head into a pole while walking to 9021Pho restaurant yesterday. Check it below from TMZ.  He's REAL mad:
