Ms. Saldana, who made headlines with her nude spread in ALLURE, she raised a few eyebrows when she told the mag that she could imagine herself raising her children with a woman.  When asked about the comment by HollyScoop, Zoe confirmed her bisexuality saying,

“No, it wasn't a generalization.  It was a statement that I strongly stand by. As of today, I've been attracted to the male species, but if one day I wake up and want to be with a woman, I will do that because it is my life, therefore it is my decision."

Fashion trailblazer Pharrell Williams has been added as a mentor to Rihanna's US competition show "Styled To Rock."  Get the deets inside and see what Sweet Brown revealed about her upcoming reality show...

Executive producer Robyn Rihanna Fenty is bringing her "Styled To Rock" competition series to The STYLE Network, and producer Pharrell Williams has just been named one of the mentors.  The US-based series will follow the same format as Rihanna's UK show of the same name, where 12 up-and-coming designers are given the opportunity to create unique fashion pieces for A-list celebrity talent.

Salaam Coleman Smith, President, Style Media, spoke of Pharrell's addition to the cast saying,

“We are delighted to have Pharrell, who is a driving force in both the music industry and fashion world, serve as a mentor on ‘Styled to Rock.” Pharrell's unique aesthetic and commitment to individuality combined with Rihanna's vision for this series will enable our aspiring designers to hone their craft and learn from the very people who set the trends.”

The 10-episode series is slated to premiere in 2013.

In other new gigs....

Everybody's got time for a reality show!  Sweet Brown, who became a viral sensation with the phrase "Ain't Nobody Got Time For That" talked to TheGrio about her rags to riches life story and how she's parlaying that into a new reality show.  She describes The Sweet Brown’s, as“a fish out of water, rags to riches series, that’s a combination of The Jeffersons and The Beverly Hillbillies.” She added, “It’s gonna be hilarious. You’re gonna really crack up.”

Also, she wrapped up an appearance in Tyler Perry's next film, A Madea Christmas and will appear in a new movie alongside Gabrielle Union and Louis Gossett Jr.

And if that weren't enough on her plate, she has a slew on ventures lined up, including a game application, cookbook, and a BBQ sauce called Oh Lord Jesus it’s a FIRE.

And if you were wondering what she thought about Charles Ramsey, she said,

"One similarity that I see, is that we love people. We gon’ help people. What Charles did was great. Because I have daughters and if my kids was missing that long I would want a good Samaritan to rescue my baby. Don’t leave me in the dark. Let me baby come home. So what Charles Ramsey did… I think it was a good thing; thumbs up, Charles.”

See Sweet Brown dish on her new life in the clip above.  Kudos to everyone.

The Cannes Film Festival is all about the glitz, the glamour, and fabulous movies.  So The Great Gatsby premiere with a red carpet appearance by fashion diva Solange Knowles seems like the perfect match.

At tonight's Opening Ceremony-hosted event (Solange is good friends with the boutique's owner Humberto Leon), the rain didn't stop the show during the 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals.

Solange, styled by Mariel Haenn (RandM), lit up the caret in this sexy nude concoction that not many folks have the body for.  And she slayed it.  The Stéphane Rolland gown is complete with a nude body suit, long sleeved sheer contour panels, and belted chiffon embellished with gold feathers.  Her 'fro, orange lips and always stylish earrings set of the look nicely:

RAPPERS' DELIGHT: Kanye Performs New Track "Awesome" & RANTS At Surprise NYC Show + Drake (& His OVO Fest), Khaled, Swizz & More Shoot "No New Friends" Video

Kanye West returned to NYC yesterday to give a secret concert last night at the Adult Swim network Upfronts.  And, once again, he performed his new track "Awesome" and dedicated it to his baby moms Kim Kardashian.  And he also did a surprise listening session (pictured above) in the City last night.

 

We've got pics and video, plus Khaled, Drake and more on the set of their "No New Friends" video...

Before heading backstage or elsewhere in the city (we can't tell) to preview his music for a room full of folks, Kanye West took the stage at the Roseland Ballroom during the Adult Swim Upfronts (like he did 5 years ago as well) to rock out.  Kanye style. 

 photo ScreenShot2013-05-16at80842AM_zps59eb0bc0.png

This means a performance, inside of a pyramid, of his new song "Awesome" no one knows (and it seems no one is really feeling) complete with interstitial rants about the paparazzi.  He must still be mad about walking head first into that steel pole in front of them.

Check out video of his rant below.  He said he's "not apologizing to no muthaf*ckers" and he's not a celebrity.  This guy is hilar:

And videos of his performances of "Awesome" and "Yeezy Season":

Kanye's set to perform on the "SNL" season finale this Saturday, May 18th.

 

In other rap news:

 photo ScreenShot2013-05-16at81115AM_zpse5758c4a.png

DJ Khaled got all his homies together to shoot the video for "No New Friends" off his upcoming Suffering From Success album.  The DJ--who rarely ever does anything more than scream out "We The Best" on every track--brought in Drake (who appears on the song), Birdman, Ace Hood & Swizz Beatz to shoot the vid.

Everyone else was just there to make a cameo and to drink up:

Rick Ross is on the track and showed up to shoot the vid of course.  Looks like Ricky's getting a beard shapeup.... 

By the way, Drake announced today that the 4th annual hip hop summer festival OVO FEST will for the first time span two days and take place August 4th and 5th at Toronto's Molson Canadian Amphitheatre.

The T.Dot native sent out a press release about his festival:

Tickets to OVO FEST go on sale May 24th at 10:00AM EDT and will be available as a two day festival pass, with a limited number of lawn seats available as single day passes. Night one of OVO FEST will feature a headlining performance by rising star Frank Ocean with special guests including James Blake. Night two will be headlined by Drake and feature other artists to be announced. OVO FEST, which last year sold out in seven minutes, will once again see Drake bring hip hop's most buzzed about artists to his hometown in advance of his upcoming album NOTHING WAS THE SAME.

Nice.

Rihanna is still chillin' in NYC.  And she was spotted heading to the set of a Budweiser commercial yesterday in the City.  Check out her sexiness on the set, plus the tee she rocked before she got there that had everyone doing a double take...

We're sure this only took a few takes.  Beer lover Rihanna will be starring in an upcoming Budweiser commercial.  The Anheuser-Busch beer co. is also sponsoring Jay-Z's Made In America festival, so they're keeping it in the family.

No word yet on what the commercial is for exactly.  But she will indeed be keeping it sexy as she's back to her blonde wavy wiggery, a cropped sweater and a sexy skirt and Azzedine Alaïa suede heels as she was spotted leaving her trailer with a cup of Starbucks coffee:

 photo rior3_zps5d04b0ad.jpg

 photo rior11_zps5dfc7894.jpg

Her girl Melissa was front and center with her camera.  So we're sure we'll be getting some behind the scenes shots soon.

And in addition to a new gig with Budweiser the "Pour It Up" chick told her fans on Instagram that she's readying her new fragrance called ROGUE by Rihanna.  And this one will come in two installments--one for women and one for men.  It's a new bottle, new packaging and new scents.  Smart.

 

And before she made her way to the set, Rih as spotted leaving the Gansevoort Hotel rocking THIS get-friendly-with-your-damn-self tee:

Ciara is still steaming up the universe with her "Body Party".  And now, she's given her fans the official remix.  In case you missed it, check it inside featuring her man Future and rapper B.o.B., plus the sexy BTS footage from the making of the video....

For her Mike.WillMade.It-produced track "Body Party," CiCi brought in her boo Future to lay down an intro for the remix where it seems they're letting us in on their bedroom talk & bedroom behavior. Rapper B.o.B. also adds a verse toward the end on the remix, which is sped up from the original version and sounds closer to the sampled Ghosttown DJ's "My Boo" beat.

Check it out above.

 

BONUS:

You've already seen the "Body Party" lingerie & house party filled video.  Now, Ciara's giving her fans a look inside how the video was shot and some behind the scenes footage.  She had input on everything from the hair and makeup styling, her wardrobe, to the choreography.

Check it.  Ciara's self-titled new album will be available July 9th.


BOUNCE BACK: Beyonce Takes The Stage Against Doctor's Orders, Apologizes Again To The Belgium Crowd On Stage...No Visible Baby Bump?

Beyonce Knowles returned to the stage last night in Antwerp, Belgium to deliver the second of two scheduled shows in the city.  And despite having to postpone the first one (Tuesday night), she was back for her fans and apologized once again.

 

Check out video of her addressing the crowd and decide if you see signs of a baby bump....

Bey proved her love for her fans last night by pushing through exhaustion to give them a stunning show.  Doctors ordered her to rest due due to exhaustion and dehydration, so she had to cancel Tuesday night's show at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp.  She technically was ordered to also miss Wednesday night's show, but she showed up anyway telling the crowd before going into "Flaws & All":

"I just have to say, I feel so good to be on this stage.  I have the best fans in the world....My doctors told me not to perform tonight.  But there's no way in the world.  You all give me so much inspiration.  And I just want to thank you guys."

Hopefully she's taking care to not completely overdo it.  Here's video:

 

And from the looks of how her perormance outfits are fitting, we're not seeing any signs of another baby bump.

Time will tell....

Diddy has put his comedic skills on display once again in a new spoof for FunnyOrDie.com.  Check out how he imposed himself into the cast of Downton Abbey inside...

Diddy's been teasing his new venture as the newest cast member of Downton Abbey for a few days now.  And once people went nuts scratching their heads wondering HOW and WHY that would go down (we're huge fans of the show and anyone who's a fan knows this would be unacceptable), PBS's Masterpiece Theater put out a statement saying his statement wasn't true.

But it is actually.  Kinda.  It was all satire.  In a new skit for Funny or Die, Diddy brings his Ciroc and his blackness (there are no black characters on the show yet) to the Crawley House and Downton.

And even superimposed himself in one of the controversial same-sex scenes from season 1.  Ha!

TGT is on the scene with their new video.  Yep, they're really making this group thing happen.  Check out Tank, Ginuwine & Tyrese show the ladies why "Sex Never Felt Better" inside, plus The Dream delivers his sexy "IV Play" video...

 

TGT is readying a summer tour and a new album where the fellas are bringing back old school R&B, one lip lick and tuxedo at a time.

Their brand new "Sex Never Felt Better" video, directed by Matt Alonzo, is the first single from TGT’s forthcoming album, 3 KINGS, slated for release July 23rd.  And the visuals are throwback to the R&B we're used to.

The trio kicks off their tour June 26th in Oakland.  You feelin' this?

Meanwhile, the fellas hit up Hot 97's morning show today and revealed how they're going to split up all that groupie love on the road:

Tank said he's extremely picky and analyzes women down to their cuticles, so there's not someone for him in every city.  Ginuwine remained quiet since he's been married to Sole for years. 

 

The Dream also dropped his brand new video for his album title track "IV Play."  Check it below:

 

Dream does his flossy usual of hopping out of a helicopter with scantilly clad lady while big booty chicks get their dance on.  The X-directed video is his most recent offering for his upcoming IV Play album. 

And just like with previous albums, he's got subtle odes to R.Kelly and the R&B genre all over this LP.  It drops May 28th.

The blonde bombshell is no longer a pitbull in a skirt.  At least she doesn't look that part.  The 2013 Eve is girly, fashionable, damn fabulous, and pretty freakin' gorge.  And we're loving how open she is about her love for her man and the trials of her career.

 

Check out the independent woman on a promo spree to push her newest album LipLock inside...

11 years after the release of her last album, Eve finally released her long awaited LipLock LP yesterday.  And she did so independently on her own label From The Rib.

The 34-year-old fashionista has been on a full out promo spree rocking fashion shoots and magazine covers and interviews.  Her latest--a cover and spread for 360 Magazine's Art & Design issue.  She's giving hair, face and body while being shot by photographer Ron Contarsy.  The cover is above, and she's looking modelicious in the rest of the spread, styled by fashion editor Apuje Kalu:

This style change up is EVERYTHING for E-V-E.  Work.

 

And this morning, Eve hit up "The Wendy Show" in a sexy purple leopard curve hugging dress and a hot gold choker necklace by Monika Chang:

She revealed that while her tv show "Eve" is currently in reruns on TV One, she misses that sitcom life and it was the best time of her life.  She also reveals that while she has a track record of dating menn with major money (that African prince and now her "baby" as she called him, Maximillion), she can make her own money.  She's learned from her mistakes of bad record label deals and contracts,  and she simply knows what type of lifestyle she wants to maintain.

Eve reiterated that she's ready to pop out some babies.  And living in London with her British boo has been fabulous. 

As for whether she's spoken to her former Ruff Ryders mate, DMX, thats a No.  But she says she'll always be there for him if he needs her.

Her album, LipLock, is in stores now.  And it's got features from Missy, Swizz, Dawn Richard and more.  So go cop that!

Did Kelly Rowland's Ex-Fiance Roy Williams CONFIRM The Abuser She Was REALLY Talking About On "Dirty Laundry"?

 photo KellyRowlandKellyRowlandHangsOutFriends1yle1Izs10jx_zpsdd168111.jpg

After yesterday's heartfelt release of her new single "Dirty Laundry" hit the net, folks have been puzzled about who exactly Kelly Rowland was speaking of when she confessed about her abusive past with an ex.

 

The first person that came to most people's minds was her ex-fiancee, former Cowboy baller Roy Williams.  But he says today it wasn't him, and he revealed who the abuser very well could have been....

Kelly Rowland exposed her heart and her past yesterday on her newest track "Dirty Laundry."  For the first time, her fans heard her story about her bittersweet "envy" of her sis Beyonce's career taking off, as well as the abusive relationship she suffered from.

This verse made everyone take notice:

I was battered, he hit in a window like it was me until it shattered/He pulled me out, he said, ‘Don’t nobody love you but me, not your mama, not your daddy, and especially not B.’

Who was she speaking of?  Most people thought Roy Williams, her former NFL fiancee.  Remember when they were in Modern Bride magazine taking pics like this like, forever ago:

 photo kelly-roy_zps755a1771.jpg

The two called off their wedding around the same time this issue came out.  But Roy tweeted today their break up was not because of abuse.  Because he IS NOT the culprit.  He said:

So Kelly has a new song. Called #DirtyLaundry.. & what ever she's saying in it ppl thinks it's me. #wow #imnottheonlypersonshedated #wasntme

And in response to someone tweeting him saying they thought it was actually her other ex, Cuda Love, Roy said:

#bingo but thats not my place to speak on it.. #somanystoriespeoplejustdontknowaboutRT

Hmmm. Sounds like a confirmation to us.  As for Cuda (pictured below in the middle), you'll remember him from the late 90's and early 2000's when he was getting shouted out on every other song by Mase.  He also managed bothMaseand Cam'Ron

 photo d2d3062ecadb11e18e3c22000a1e8b97_7_zps470d3a51.jpg

Cuda hasn't put out any public statement confirming or denying the accusation.  Neither has Kelly. 

For now, she's simply letting her music speak for itself and has gotten things off her chest.  And we applaud her for it.

Kel's album Talk A Good Game is in stores June 18th.

TV FAB: Nicki Minaj Remains MUM About Reportedly Leaving "Idol" + Lance Gross In New Trailer For NBC's "Crisis"

Nicki Minaj has yet to comment on reports that she's leaving "American Idol," all on the heels of reports that the entire judges' panel was fired.  Things are looking to be more and more true.

 

Deets inside, plus Lance Gross' first trailer for the upcoming NBC show "Crisis"...

A few days ago a report hit the net that all the judges on the Idol" panel were fired.  Soon after, Randy Jackson put in his resignation letter saying he was choosing to "leave" in order to focus on his own projects. 

Now, Nicki Minaj is rumored to be leaving, despite "Idol" reps denying anyone was fired.  Did the network & "Idol" head honchos give the judges the opportunity to leave on their own to save face from getting fired?  That's what it seems like.

Us Weeklyreported yesterday that she indeed had decided not to return next season.

"It's safe to say she isn't coming back to Idol," an insider tells Us, adding that the "Roman Holiday" rapper will be focusing on her next album, touring, and endorsements. "She's okay with it. She had a great time but was only going to do one season anyway."

We reached out to Nicki's rep about the report, and everyone mum.  Interestingly, a source in her camp told us the rumor of all judges getting fired and/or leaving was false just a few days ago.  Maybe they weren't aware....

Either way, Nicki hasn't said anything about the matter yet.  So we're putting our money on the fact that "Idol" wants to do a total makeover of the judges' panel, and there's no room for a Barb.

 

 photo 769609749_zps90473886.jpg

In other news, hottie Lance Gross is about to return to TV.  The "House of Payne" actor will be starring in NBC's new drama called "Crisis."

Lance plays a Secret Service Agent on his first day on the job, which is protecting the President of the United States' son.

The first trailer has emerged, and we're kinda loving it already.  Lance tweeted his excitement saying:

I dreamt of days like this.... @NBCCrisis #thankful #NBCFall

Rihanna Floats Around NYC In A Sexy SKY HIGH Split Dress, GOES IN On J.R. Smith Being "Thirsty"

Rihanna knows how to work the sidewalk catwalk.  This afternoon in NYC, the "Right Now" singer made her way to her awaiting SUV rocking a maxi dress with a sky high split, a bright scarf on her head, and some words for Knicks baller J.R. Smith...

 photo spl544041_002_zps4a964fbb.jpg

 

When pics surfaced of Rihanna partying it up at Greenhouse over a week ago--with J.R. Smith lurking in her VIP section--rumors started swirling that the twosome were a new item...in one way or another.

But like most rumors, it didn't hold much water as Rihanna was barely seen, if ever, even speaking to J.R. that night.  And it appears she's had enough of people accusing her of having a relationship with him.  AND she's done with people blaming her for his lackluster playoff capabilities.

So she replied to a Knicks fan who went at her about J.R.  And if this doesn't clear the air, we don't know what does:

In true diva fashion (with a diamond microphone stand) Mariah performed a seven-minute medley of some of her biggest hits like only she can, including "Vision of Love", "Make it Happen" and "Hero" with fellow "AI" judge Randy Jackson on bass guitar. She also sang her latest hit "#Beautiful".

In a feathered fishtail dress, adorned with crystals, Mimi rocked the stage BEFORE Jennifer Lopez. And with Nicki Minaj AND J Lo in the building, we would have loved to be a fly on the wall backstage. We're sure the diva-tensions were high. 

Watch Mariah's performance here:

 

BONUS:

Jennifer Lopez closed out the show with her latest single "Live It Up" featuring Pitbull. And in case you we wondering, Mariah "smiled" throughout the performance....because she knew we were watching.  Gotta love her.

COUPLEDOM: Cassie Shows How She & Diddy Put In Work In The Studio + Rita Ora On A Date Night...With Producer Calvin Harris

Earlier this week, singer Rita Ora became the latest singer chick to get the free 99 discount on her music tracks.  Because she and Scottish super DJ & producer Calvin Harris have gone public with their couple status.  The two were spotted out on another date last night in London, and we've got video of Cassie& Diddy putting in work...

Rita Ora, rocking a red strapless Vivienne Westwood gown last night, may be hoping to get a mega hit record that will officially put her on the map as a pop star (instead of the fashionable socialite people end up marking her as).  Because she's now dating the same producer/DJ, Calvin Harris, who created one of Rihanna's biggest hits "We Found Love".  He's known for his own electro-dance songs, and produces hits for folks like Kylie Minogue.  And now, Rita Ora's dating him.

 photo urtha6_zps17ce3b79.jpg

The two were spotted out in the UK last night celebrating Calvin's big win as Songwriter of the Year at the Ivor Novello Awards.  Rita, who was just given a $760,000 contract to become the new face of Madonna's "Material Girl" clothing line, posted a pic of him holding his award saying:

"Ivor novello's eh? Songwriter of the year. No big deal just pretty f****** awesome!! @calvinharris :))))".

Earlier this week when they popped up holding hands for the first time at Daft Punk's album release, Rita told her "X Factor" contestant friend Kye Sones that her relationship was "brilliant."  Good PR usually is...

 

 

In other couples news involving singing chicks and their producer boyfriends, Cassie released the second part of her video of behind the scenes footage of how she made her RockAByeBaby mixtape (available now).

Diddy pops up in the studio to help Cassie work on her new music.  And Cassie captured on video her mogul boo putting his producer hat on to make her sound like something we want to hear.  Check out their work of love above.
