When speaking about his success and his large porfolio of projects (radio, tv, film) he told Variety, "I just always wanted to keep evolving and reinventing myself.  Most people get stuck on one idea and you can miss out on a lot of opportunities … but everything is centered around my comedy.”

Congrats Steve!

Miami Heat star Chris Bosh and his Instagram loving wife Adrienne are expecting baby #2.  Check out how Mrs. Bosh made the announcement with her son Jackson and stepdaughter Trinity inside....

Adrienne Bosh is gearing up for her second baby with Miami Heat baller Chris Bosh, who's currently in the NBA playoffs.  And the petite Mrs. announced it with a photoshoot (we know how she loves those) involving her baby boy and stepdaughter.

The basketball wife posted the pics earlier tonight to announce their new addition to the family.  And she said on an NBC 6 news special, which was about her Mother's Day brunch for underprivileged expectant mothers, that she's 3 months along.

Adrienne told the group of women the news Sunday afternoon (pictured above at the event with NBC correspondent Roxanne Vargas) saying:

“We’re very excited. We’ve always wanted a big family, so we’re right around that path.  Hopefully two or three more after this and we couldn’t be happier!”

And we must say, Adrienne could have fooled us being 3 months pregnant rocking this curve hugging dress just 4 days ago, with no sign of a bump:

Last year, Chris jetted back to Miami during the NBA playoffs for the birth of Jackson.  Looks like pregnancy during the playoffs is becoming a tradition.

Congrats to the Boshes!

AWKWARD: Shay "Buckeey" Johnson & Scrappy GET COZY At Uptown Magazine Project13 Event...Fiancee' Erica Dixon Shows Up Too

Well this is...awkward.  Erica Dixon was not wearing her engagement ring last night when she showed up to the Uptown Magazine Project13 Event.   And when her supposed fiancee and "Love & Hip Hop: ATL" co-star Scrappy showed up, he was boo'd up with the chick who's been coming between him and Erica--Shay "Buckeey" Johnson.

 

We know Mama Dee is jumping for joy.  But check out the pics inside to see who else showed up....

At the Mason Murer Fine Art Gallery in Atlanta last night, Uptown magazine held their PROJECT13 day of change event.  And it was created to acknowledge and support 13 selected nonprofit organizations and campaigns dedicated to impacting the lives of those in need in the Atlanta community.

So "LAHH ATL" stars, who impact our communities in a not-so-positive way but oh wells, made their way to the event.  And it looks like Shay finally got her wish of Scrappy having her on his arm.  And not Erica.

 photo DSC_8501_zps7cb31322.jpg photo erica_zps73af6c1a.jpg photo DSC_8498_zps0669e61f.jpg

Erica showed up looking sexy in green, and avoided Scrappy and Shay all night.

But we never really understood why Shay thought she was actually "dating" Scrappy rather than just getting it in as we're sure he does with plenty of chicks.  Shay felt special since he calls her his "best friend," and now he's giving her the attention she wants, now that he and Erica are on the outs after her big blow out with MaMa Dee.

 photo buckeeyevent_zps475c4e21.jpg

Buckeey rocked a cute and colorful arsty print dress for the occasion.  And we're actually going to say it, she looks great.

Scrappy, who showed up at the end, got his pose on.  Y'all know he's the 'Prince of da Souf' so he needs to let y'all know in pics...

The ladies appeared to have a good time for a cause.

Check out a clip from last night's episode of "LAHH ATL" where Erica tells Scrappy she wants to halt their engagement because he doesn't have her back in dealing with his mama:

DO WE LOVE IT: Rihanna's BLEACH BLONDE Wiggery

Singer Rihanna debuted a dramatic new look last night as she stepped out on the town in New York City.  Decide if we love her new "look" inside and get the deets on what might have inspired the dramatic transformation....

 photo spl542382_002-1.jpg

We've all seen Rihanna make dramatic visual transformations on stage and in her "real life" many times before, and yesterday in New York City, she remained consistent with her switch-ups. 

The "Pour It Up" singer was spotted hopping out her SUV for a night out on the town, rocking a bleach blonde bobbed wig. 

 photo article-2324178-19C448CE000005DC-966_634x642.jpg

We suspect the new look is only temporary as RiRi completed two photoshoots earlier in the day.  First, she did a session for her River Island Collection, tweeting "2 day shoot for my upcoming Autumn/Winter collections with River Island was flawless! My models looked so damn good! Foreign chicks errwhere". 

A short while later, RiRi re-emerged on her timeline to reveal that she'd wrapped another session, this time for MAC.  She said,"And that's a wrap on another #MAC shoot!! 2 in 1 day!! Thats my damn team!!!"

 photo article-0-19C4480A000005DC-274_634x385.jpg

It's clear RiRi's new look was work related, but a good transformation is always sweeter when you're on the heels of a breakup.  With reports (and pics) flying out of Hollywood that her "recent" ex-Chris Brownpartied at Graystone Manor with his "former" flame Karrueche Tran the other night...it's enough to make a girl reach in the closet and pull out something 'Fresh Off The Runway'. 

Only time will tell what tomorrow will bring....but we're expecting something new.  But for now.....


DO WE LOVE IT?

MUSIC FAB: Solange X Kendrick Lamar REMIX "Looks Good With Trouble"

Solange Knowles just teamed up with Kendrick Lamar for a remix (actually it's a "full" version to the prelude version on Solo's True EP) to her "Looks Good With Trouble" song.  Check out their full version inside...

As Solo puts her new version of "Looks Good With Trouble" on iTunes today, you can listen to it here first.

Kendrick Lamar chimes in on the breathy bliss-filled track with his own bars.  And Solange said about the track:

Less than a year ago @devhynes emailed me a vibey instrumental, and I wrote and recorded "Look good w trouble" as a prelude to Bad Girls.

And now Kendrick comes in on the full song.  Check it below:

 

And Solange also let us in on what she copped for Mother's Day from her son Daniel.  She posted the below pic and tweeted:

There is actually nothing better in the world

HE is the best....in the "hole wide world".

On this day, i am completely thankful to have embarked on such a beautiful journey of life with such a special, beautiful, magical boy.

Awww.  Sweet!

MORE BAD BOSSES?: Usher's EX-Nanny SUES For Six-Figure Settlement, Claims She Was OVERWORKED & UNDERPAID

 photo UsherUsherPeaceNYCSaPpaOXURVSx.jpg

Usher's former nanny has filed suit claiming she wasn't compensated for the overtime she put in.  See how his camp responded inside...

 

Rich folks just don't know how to treat "The Help"....so the nannies say.  First we find out that Kim Porter"allegedly" had her nanny sweeping the floors and living out of a suitcase (with a door that didn't lock) and now, according to TMZ, Usher's ex-nanny, Cecilia Duncan, is claiming that Usher's is JUST AS BAD when it comes to treating his "help" nicely.

You'd think that celebrities would be kind to the people whom they've tasked with helping raise their kids....but maybe not.  Just ask Cecilia Duncan.  Cecilia says she started working for Usher in December 2010 (caring for his two sons, ages 4 & 5).  But pretty soon,  she says the job started veering into the 40+ hours category, but there was no increase/overtime in her pay. Hmm....sounds just like Kim Porter's lawsuit.

Cecilia says she made her frustration known (for over a year), then Usher up and fired her last September without ever giving her the overtime she asked for.  Again...sounds like Kim Porter's situation.

You'd think that the celebs would fear the disgruntled employee might take their anger out on the kids....but that doesn't seem to be a "Hollywood" concern.

Naturally, Usher's camp says the lawsuit is frivolous (just like Diddy's camp did).  We're sure we will hear that Cecilla had some "past arrest" record that they "just" discovered and that would explain why she was finally fired.

Not sure why one would choose to continue to work somewhere in which the felt they were being treated unfairly.  But it's very possible. 

Until they attempt to settle or dismiss the case, Cecilla wants six-figures for wrongful termination and failure to pay wages.

Good luck with that......

We're not saying the Beyonce is eating for two...but she sure loves her chicken!  See the receipt from Beyonce's recent outing in the UK and get the deets on how she shares her love of chicken with her crew....

 photo tumblr_mml82m3nxe1rqgjz2o1_1280.png

Beyonce stans know that she LOVES Popeyes chicken, so it's no suprise that she and her crew indulged in their love of wings and ish while on tour.  Yesterday, after her tour stop through Dublin, Bey spent 875 pounds (about $1300) on a chicken feast from Nando's for her and her crew and dancers.   Nice!

 photo ScreenShot2013-05-14at100240AM.png

Of course we know all of this food wasn't consumed by Bey alone, but you'll recall that she wants to give Blue Ivy a sibling. Folks will likely use this as "proof" that she's with child again, but we're not believing any of those rumors....yet. 

 

BONUS: Speaking of Bey, here's a snippet of a song she's on of The Dream's, and also with 2 Chainz.  It's called "Turnt" and will sub for the other track she was supposed to appear on for Dream's IV Play album that he couldn't clear the sample for.  THe 90 second preview of "Turnt" is below:

 

 

*UPDATE* Beyonce has canceled her Mrs. Carter Show tour stop in Belgium tonight (5/14).  Her rep told the Associated Press it's all due to exhaustion and dehydration as she's also doing simultaneus promo for the upcoming flick EPIC and has shot umpteen photoshoots and magazine covers in the past few months.  And has also worked on new music.

"She is awaiting word from her doctors before making a decision," the rep adds.
 

She's not set to wrap the tour (the USA leg of it) until August in Brooklyn. But her docs have ordered her to rest today and possibly tomorrow, which will mean another cancellation at the same venue.

Well, this is going to feul those pregnancy rumors even more...

Solange Knowles knows her body, and knows how to flaunt it.  The "Looks Good With Trouble" chick is featured on the cover and pages of COMPLEX magazine's newest issue in one pieces and high heels.  And she also just announced her brand new music label that she can call her very own.

 

Check the pics and deets inside...

 

In some summery & hot photos for COMPLEX magazine, Solo is showing us exactly how a 26-year-old mom of one can slay the game on her own terms.  In the fashion and non-mainstream music worlds, she's pretty much the perfect peach everyone loves.

And we're going to be getting a lot more of those chill vibes as Solo just announced she'll be releasing her own music through her very own record label, Saint Records.  She tweeted this afternoon:

Super stoked to announce I've started my own label, SAINT RECORDS,where I'll be releasing my music & other projects distributed through SONY! Through Saint Records I will have 100% creative/artistic control & continue to passionately pursue my footing in this new musical movement.

Congrats!

Now check out her vintage (remember ya mama and grandma's couch with the plastic cover?) & bold style photoshoot, rocking Gottex, Louboutin and more, with those big curls we love below:

 photo Solange-Knowles-For-Complex3_zpsa635d215.jpg

Stunning as usual.  Highlights from her cover story:

On how she first started her rebellion against the industry: “I wanted to make all of the creative artistic decisions but I wasn’t the one paying for it. And they didn’t fully trust me to make them,” she says. “Every decision was a battle. It was exhausting. I wanted to be in a position where not only was the music fully my body of work, but everything thereafter was also my body of work. I knew that meant I had to leave and that I had to struggle.”

On being so ambitious in her own way:“I have a mother who never took no for an answer when it came to her creative pursuits,” Solange says. “She started a hair salon in her spare bedroom and four years later had 30 employees. I have a father who was the first black student at his junior high and high school and had to do a lot to get to that point. So it’s really in my bloodline when it comes to having an idea and making it happen.”

On the writing/recording process with producer Dev hynes for her newer music: “We were either staying in a rented house or he was staying with me, my boyfriend, and my son. Everything that happened on this record was literally waking up, him usually before me, going and creating the bones to the track and then me rolling over and hearing it while I’m fixing breakfast. When you’re making music like that, where it’s a natural extension of your day, it’s so much more enjoyable,” Solange says. “I remember being in writing sessions and having to put disclaimers out every time I was about to share something. You need to be in a space where you can just say, ‘All right. This is what I’m feeling.’”

On her home life: “When I’m home, I’m just straight mommin’ it,” Solange says of life in Brooklyn, which revolves around 8-year-old Juelz. “School runs, play dates, soccer games, etc. You have to constantly fight for that balance and now I kinda got it under control.” After a hectic few weeks on tour, she’s looking forward to leaving town with Juelz later today for a two-week vacation—a week in L.A. and a week in New Orleans, where she feels very, very at home. “I go to crazy bounce clubs,” she says. “I eat crazy po’ boys, drink daiquiris. I ride my bike a lot.”

As they prepare for this week's season finale, the cast of ABC's hit show "Scandal" made some daytime TV appearances including jaunts through "GMA", "The View" and Kerry Washington appeared on "Wendy".  Watch clips from each show inside...

Earlier this morning,"Scandal" star Kerry Washington was spotted in New York's Time Square.  Kerry was up bright and early to join the cast of her hit show on "GMA" to dish on this season's many secrets and to promote the season finale, which airs Thursday.

Following her "GMA" appearance, Kerry switched gears and went over to the "WENDY" show where was joined by her Peeples co-star David Allan Grier to play a few games and promote their latest forray onto the big screen.

Then, the lady in red linked up with the "Scandal" cast again to appear on "The View" which was co-hosted by Judy Smith, the well-connected Washington powerhouse who inspired the "Olivia Pope" character.

Though we enjoyed seeing the cast make their rounds, actor Columbus Short was suspiciously absent...and no one bothered to explain his absence.  Hmmm....we wonder if he's going to get killed off on soon (hope not!)....

Watch highlights from each show here.....

On "Good Morning America:

The entire cast appeared on GMA and revealed that off-camera, they're all good friends.  They watch the show as a group on weekends so they can cheer each other on.  Nice! 

On "Wendy":

Kerry told Wendy that she doesn't like it when people say that Olivia Pope is the President's side piece because it objectifies women.  When asked about the relationship between the President and Olivia, Kerry reminded the audience that POTUS has offered to leave his wife for Olivia, but she told him not to. She then asked the audience if Olivia was truly the side chick,  or if she remained "on the side" simply because she was afraid to be "all in." 

Later in the segment, she was joined by her Peeples co-star David Allan Grier to promote their movie (which is in theaters now). 

On "The View":

At the (6:31) mark, Tony Goldwyn, who plays President Fitzgerald Grant, re-enacts the scene (with co-host Sherri Shepherd) where the President tells Olivia that he will leave his wife and the White House.  He tells Sherri--in that sultry ass way he does--to sit down and says, "Watch me choose you...Watch me earn you!"  Then, he kisses her.  *fans self*

 

The season finale of "Scandal" airs May 16, 10p ET.  We're SO there.

Kanye West was seen fighting the chilly weather in New York City earlier today.  While he shielded his cheeks from the weather, we noticed that the bump on his head (from that fateful run-in with the pole) seems to be healing.

And when it comes to fighting with the paparazzi, Kanye's recent actions were defended by his baby momma Kim Kardashian. TMZ reports that Kim has been telling friends that she's happy Kanye went off on the photographer. Kim feels that photographers have become more aggressive since she's been pregnant.  It definitely seems like Kim wants a man willing to defend her.

Tamar Braxton DISCUSSES Her BATTLE With VITILIGO, HEALING From Her ABUSIVE PAST, Says She HASN'T Had Plastic Surgery

 photo bbtamar2-1.jpg

Reality tv star Tamar Braxton did a very candid interview with Ebony.com where she discussed issues with her skin, the abusive relationships of her past and addressed rumors of plastic surgery.  See the highlights inside....

As she prepares to become a mother for the first time, Tamar Braxton sat down with Ebony.com where she opened up about sensitive issues like her skin disease (vitiligo) her abusive past ("one of her ex-boyfriends had dragged her out of her apartment by her hair"), and plastic surgery rumors.   Though we think we've seen all there is to see with Tamar Braxton, her interview revealed a vulnerable side that's never been exposed on camera.  Here on the highlights:

 

On Being Abused:
“I almost had to tell my story to each individual and then I decided that’s not what I’m going to do. I can’t make anybody believe, I can’t change anybody’s mind about anything. (The abuse,) it happened. I’m not all the way comfortable with sharing a lot of what happened to me (yet), but what I said was true. When I’m ready to talk about my abusive past I will, I’m sorry that I’m not. But if it wasn’t for (God), I wouldn’t be here.”

She added,

“My husband (Vincent Herbert) definitely doesn’t abuse me,”


On her struggle with Vitiligo:

Anybody with skin issues knows that that’s a very sensitive subject. And that’s why I’ve never shared that I have Vitiligo, because I do. I’ve always had it, since I was a young girl. It’s not as bad as others because everybody has it differently, but I’ve certainly had mine diagnosed. That’s why I tan. People say, “You bleach your skin!” But I tan just so I can have a better tone on my skin, boo!

It’s gotten worse since I’ve gotten pregnant. If you shake my hand now, to me it’s more noticeable. But when you get diagnosed with a skin disorder, it’s hard. It does weigh on your self-esteem. It really does.

On Plastic Surgery:

"I don’t have plastic surgery. I never had plastic surgery. I had a nose procedure done because I had to. I had no cartilage in my nose, I have a piece of cartilage from my ear put into my nose. I had a medical procedure done. I have no plastic in my nose. And when I shared that with the world, now I have Botox, and different kind of fillers. Now I touch my face, which I never touch my face…Everything is real on me."

But, she hasn’t written plastic surgery off, just yet:

"After I have my baby, I might can’t say that everything is real on me. I might get my breasts done. Who knows if my breasts gonna go down to my ankles--I can’t do that!”

As Chris Brown was on hand at the ICON Ultra Lounge in L.A. today to help announce the 2013 BET Awards nominees, he dropped a little nugget of his own that his frenemy Drake may not love.  Check out what Breezy said about his new sing featuring Aaliyah, and what to expect at the upcoming Awards...

Chris Brown, along with Kendrick Lamar, Tamar Braxton and Charlie Wilson, announced the BET Awards nominees today at a press conference.  To kick off the brand new three-day BET EXPERIENCE AT L.A. LIVE, the celebs were on hand to help BET Networks officially announce this year’s  nominees, honorees, performers and special guests for the BET AWARDS.

Comedian Chris Tucker will host while R.Kelly and the "Fine China" singer have already been announced to perform.  And it all goes down LIVE at the Nokia Theater on June 30th.

But it was Chris' big Aaliyah announcement that has everybody buzzing.  He's putting out a collabo, using her vocals, for an upcoming track on his new X album.  And we all know Drake's obsession with Aaliyah, and his own "Enough Said" collabo using her voice.  So we wonder how he'll respond about his enemy making music using Aaliyah's likeness.

Chris said this afternoon:

“I got something special for my fans. It’s called ‘They Don’t Know.  All new stuff that’s never been heard before.”

And he already shot the video saying:

“I shot it in the hood.  I went to the Cedar Block. Bringing both worlds together and trying to uplift the poverty side of the community and show them where I’m from. I’m from Virginia, but everybody comes from a broken home or being broke. I remember when I was.”

The above pics were taken and posted on his Twitter timeline on Mother's Day Sunday.  And they were all taken from a mystery shoot (likely this video) involving elementary school kids and dudes from the hood.

In other news, Drake is leading the pack with 12 BET Award nods, Kendrick Lamar & 2 Chainz grabbed 8 each, A$AP Rocky is saying thanks for his 4, and Miguel grabbed 4.  Chris' on again/off again lover Rihanna, as well as Justin Timberlake and Kanye West, all copped 3.

Beyonce Knowles cancelled the first concert of her career yesterday at the order of doctors.  And she posted a hand written letter to her fans in Belgium for having to postpone that tour date.  But she's set to return to the stage tonight in the very same venue...

Due to exhaustion and dehydration, Beyonce was ordered by her docs to rest yesterday.  And it caused her to postpone, for the first time in her life, her tour stop in Antwerp, Belgium.

So the "Standing In The Sun" busy Bey posted this handwritten letter for her fans as an apology:

The Mrs. Carter Show was scheduled to stop in Belgium for two nights at the Antwerp Sportpaleis.  So she's returning to the stage for tonight's second show.  Glad she got well soon!

The tour rolls to Zurich on Friday, then Milan Saturday, and France and Germany directly after that.  She'll be performing in Europe until June 1st where she ends in London.  Then kicking off the US leg in L.A. June 28th.

 

The Randomness:

1.  Kanye's $750,000 Lambo crashed in Kim K.'s gate in front her home, thanks to the repair company who was driving it and was retuning it to her home.  STORY

2.  Nick Cannon announced via press release that he is leaving his radio show of two years to focus on his NCredible Entertainment ventures.

Kelly Rowland has released the biographical single, "Dirty Laundy" from her upcoming Talk A Good Game album.  On the track, she reveals her abusive past and that she was envious of Beyonce.  Listen inside...

With her Talk A Good Game disc hitting stores on June 18th, Kelly Rowland's next single, the reflective "Dirty Laundry" reveals a side of the singer that fans may not be familiar with.  On the track, penned by The-Dream, Kelly talks about being involved in an abusive relationship and even admits that she was envious of Beyonce's success.  Not envious in a bad way necessarily, but simply yearning for what someone else has because you want it for yourself, but you're still happy for that person and love them simultaneously. 

One of the verses goes:

"When my sister was on stage killin’ it like a motherfucker
I was enraged, feelin’ it like a motherfucker
Bird in a cage
You would never know what I was dealin’ with
Went our separate ways but I was happy she was killin’ it
Bittersweet
She was up, I was down
No lie, I feel good for her but what do I do now?
"

 

The single will be available via iTunes on May 21st.

Meanwhile, Kelly is reportedly in negotiations with Simon Cowell to join the judging panel of the American version of "The X Factor."  And she's set to go on tour with The Dream this summer, kicking off May 23rd.

Listen to Kelly do her "Dirty Laundry" below:

1.  Usher is set to leave "The Voice" next season while Cee-Lo Green and Christina Aguilera make plans to return.  Story.

CELEBS GIVE BACK: Dr. Dre & Jimmy Iovine DONATE $70 MILLION To USC

Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine made such a large donation to the University of Southern California that they're getting an entire school named after them!  Find out about their new school inside....

 

Recording industry legends Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine recently blessed the University of Southern California with a $70 million donation.  In return, the university will use the endowment to create the Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation.

Launching next year, the four year program will offer undergraduate courses in entrepreneurship; technology, art, design and marketing.  How fun will that major be?! 

USC President C.L. Max Nikias thanks the moguls in a statement,

"The vision and generosity of Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young will profoundly influence the way all of us perceive and experience artistic media. USC provides an extraordinarily rich academic, research and artistic environment. We are committed to encouraging our students to use their intellectual and creative resources to effect change in all segments of society. Our goal is to ensure that the academy is the most collaborative educational program in the world."

The academy will enroll its first class of 25 students in the fall of 2014.

Dre was named as the #3 Hip Hop Cash King last year by FORBES.  And the #1 musician based on his income.  His networth was around $260 mill last year, and he even raked in $110 mill at the end of last year thanks to the $300 mill sell of his BEATS headphones to HTC.  So it's good to see him giving back to the youngins who spend their dollars on his headphones.

Great job Dre & Jimmy!

Niecy Nash is pushing her brand new book It's Hard To Fight Naked.  And while the semi-newly married woman gives relationship advice to couples on how to argue, and how not to argue, she hosted her book launch party in Beverly Hills yesterday.  And plenty of her Hollywood friends came out to support...

 

Brandy and "Hollywood Exes" star Sheree Fletcher posed it up with their girl, actress Niecy Nash, as she celebrated the release of her new relationship advice book at the Luxe Rodeo Drive hotel.  Niecy's looking great these days.  Loving the brown & blonde tresses.

"Basketball Wives: LA" stars Gloria Govan Barnes and her sis Laura Govan came out to support.  Doesn't seem like they're taping a new season anytime soon so why not hit up a few parties...

Brooke Bailey was also there.

WHO'S THAT GIRL??!! Vladimir Doronin CRUISES On His YACHT With A Naomi Campbell LOOK-A-LIKE...Jazzma Kendrick!

Billionaire businessman Vladimir Doronin seen cruising off the shores of Miami with a tall, gorgeous model...but it wasn't his long time girlfriend Naomi Campbell!  See pics of Vlad and his Naomi-doppleganger inside....

Though there have been reports that billionaire Vladimir Doronin and Naomi Campbell have split, we thought we could wait until next week to see if Vlad turned up at Naomi's birthday bash in Ibiza for a confirmation.

But this may be confirmation enough:

 photo ScreenShot2013-05-15at85234AM.png

Vlad was spotted on the coast of Miami, yachting it up with a younger version of NaNa.  And we've learned her name is Jazzma Kendrick, a 23-year-old model from Miami.

At first glance, the sight of Vlad reclining on his yacht with Jazzma in a bikini, looks like any other pic of Naomi and Vlad on vacation

 photo ScreenShot2013-05-15at85100AM.png

Though Naomi and Vlad have not confirmed a split, we don't expect that the hot-tempered supermodel (who's in the UK working on her reality competition show "The Face") will be pleased when she gets a whiff of these pics.  Nor will she be waiting for him in Ibiza with open arms.

While we can all agree that Naomi is still one of the most beautiful women in the world, we wonder if she should she be flattered or enraged that her "alleged" ex is frolicking with a younger woman who's clearly cut from the same cloth?

 

So who is Jazzma Kendrick?

 photo ScreenShot2013-05-15at101122AM.png

Jazzma lives in Miami, FL and works as a model.  And also spends her nights partying in various MIA nightclubs.

 photo ScreenShot2013-05-15at102450AM.png

And she knows a few of the local superstars, like Rick Ross.

 

And she posted a few pics a couple days ago from what looks like Vlad's yacht:

Outside of her looks, it's not hard to see why she'd catch Vlad's eye...
