If you can't sit through the vid, here's what he revealed:

Rihanna--They had their moment and he will always have love for her.

Nicki Minaj-- Loves her with all his heart but never had an intimate moment.

Tyra Banks--Went on one date to Disneyland...in disguise.

Kim Kardashian--"No, no, no. Come on now!"

Kat Dennings (of "2 Broke Girls")--I've always had a huge crush on her so she obliged me with a dinner date.

Drizzy also performed his newest single off his upcoming Nothing Was The Same album (9/24), "Hold On, We're Going Home."  By the way, he also pused back his tour kickoff date to October 18th.

In other music news, Rihanna is having more issues with releasing her "Pour It Up" visuals.  The strip club/any club anthem seemed to be getting the raunchy treatment via IG pics Rihanna and her bestie Melissa posted a while back from the set.  But the director, Vince Haycock, apparently isn't having it.

He tweeted the understandably impatient Navy the other day:

"Rihanna fans, I’m no longer involved in the #pouritup video.  I took my name off the project due to creative differences. #stopharassingme"

And y'all already know RiRi responded.

"@vincehaycock luckily none of that matters, just take your name off the check while u at it! Whatever your issue is leave my fans out of it. #butthurtniggaAlert,"

Bloop.  We also heard a while back that Melissa would be involved in directing as well.  We guess maybe that didn't go over so well...

Ri just wrapped shooting a new video, for "What Now", in the Philippines.

In the saga of Tyga's troubled "Make It Nasty" video shoot, a fourth woman has stepped forth with a sexual harassment lawsuit.  You'll recall that three vixens have already sued, and now a fourth woman claims she was plied with alcohol (note: she was under the legal drinking age) and was sexually harassed by a man in a rabbit suit.  Yes....a "rabbit" suit.

In addition to getting dry humped by a rabbit, Allison Brown, says a man grabbed her breast and she was "coerced" to remove her top. She's suing Tyga for sexual battery, fraud, invasion of privacy, and infliction of emotional distress.  Did you know these video shoots were so stressful?

In other Tyga news, he and his baby mama Blac Chyna have been making the dinner rounds with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Check out their double date last night here.

 

And speaking of Kanye:

 

In an upcoming interview with BBC Radio 1, Kanye West goes on and on and on about his perfections.  What perfections?  As if you didn't know....the Dark Fantasy album was PERFECT.  Also......he is the biggest rock star in the world.  All this according to 'Ye.  Take a moment to look into his eyes and you will see that he truly believes everything he's saying.  The interview airs Monday at 7pm (check back for the upload).  The preview is above.

GUCCI MANE Apologizes From Jail -- "I'm Sorry....I'm Going To Rehab For Addiction!"

So, in the latest edition of the Gucci Mane Twitter Saga, the original Ice Cream Man has returned to his account...while incarcerated.  But this time, he's passing out apologies.  From jail.

 

Deets inside..

This afternoon, rapper Gucci Mane headed back to his Twitter page--which he deleted after that pretty insane Twitter rant a few weeks ago--to face the music.  And he man'd up and apologized to those he blasted. 

After going in on YMCMB, plenty other rappers and all the celeb chicks he smashed, Gucci was arrested in Atlanta a few weeks ago after cops were called to the scene of him acting wreckless in real life.

He was caught with weed and a gun, so he was arrested and hospitalized after he could barely be subdued.

Fast forward to today, Gucci explains what we all suspected.  He's addicted to drugs and it was the cause of him acting out.  In his first Tweet since 9/11, Gucci said:

Woke up the other day out this hospital bed & I'm so embarrassed & ashamed of my behavior that was brought to my attention.

I just wanna man up right now & take this time to apologize to my family, friends, the industry & most of all my fans. I'm SORRY!

He went on to explain his "lean" addiction saying:

I've been drinking lean for 10plus years & I must admit it has destroyed me. I wanna be the first rapper to admit

I'm addicted to lean & that shit ain't no joke. I can barely remember all the things I've done & said. However there's no excuse.

Gucci revealed about his upcoming rehab stint:

I'm currently incarcerated but I will be going to rehab because I need help. I wanna thank everyone that has stood by me during this difficult time. Please keep me in your prayers. #GUWOP

Good to hear Gucci!  He also took responsibility for the people he horribly blasted on twitter saying:

I wanna personally apologize to birdman ross & drake. Dem my niggas. I 100% regret my words & actions .

Keyshia Dior Kaoir I'm sorry. Please forgive me

He also revealed he wrote a new track that he can't wait to get out the "hell hole" to release.

Keep ya head up Gucci!

Fresh from the 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live, "ET" correspondent Rocsi Diaz is a stunner in blue.

Her strapless Michael Costello pointed detail gown, complete with a ruffled mermaid fit and Loren Ridinger jewels, looked like perfection on the former "106 & Park" host.

The correspondent is broadcasting live from the red carpet via CBS.com for "Entertainment Tonight."  And looks fabulous doing so.

 

And "Access Hollywood" correspondent Shaun Robinson looked gorgeous in this black cutout Nicole Miller gown:

In another oddity (with all these belly disguising dresses lately), Kerry Washington zoomed past the Nokia Theater L.A. Live red carpet after only snapping a few pics at the very beginning of the media line.  Hmmm...

And we all know this isn't typical of the red carpet goddess, who had to be well aware everyone was waiting for her to shut that carpet DOWN.  Another sign she's trying to hide a baby bump?  Hmmm...

In the few pics she did take, while seemlingly sucking in for dear life, her flowing floral embellished Marchesa SS14 gown looked heavenly on the "Scandal" star.  And even though she looked like she had that "pregnancy walk" while strutting toward the carpet after hopping out her limo (were you staring at the TV like us waiting for her to make her entrance?), she still managed to get the beauty of the gown captured on camera.

 photo BUzaek4CYAAUS2tjpg_large_zps73ad8dbb.jpg

Kerry was accompanied by her parents on her big night. Not sure if she was rushing to get inside for the live telecast....or rushing because of something else...but we're wishing the fab chick major luck tonight!

She's both presenting along the legendary Diahann Carroll and nominated for Best Actress.

She headed down to Miami this weekend to party it up with her friends and to hit the ocean:

Kanye's girl Kim K. took the opportunity to Instagram some pics from Jimmy Iovine's party over the weekend in L.A. where she was by her man's side.  And everyone was on a couch chopping it up with Oprah...who looks like she quite possibly had more than a few Moscow Mules...

Rihanna's Instagram Pic Gets 2 Males Arrested....But Was It For The Best?

Welp, between all the weed pics and damn-near-naked pics, we knew sooner or later somebody would get arrested over a Rihanna Instagram pic if not Rihanna herself. 

 

Find out how RiRi got two guys arrested over the weekend...

 

All those pics in Thailand during her Diamonds World Tour stop have caused some drama.  When Rihanna posted a pic (above) with an animal called a Slow Loris, drama ensued.

Rih posted the pic saying, "Slow Look who was talkin dirty to me! #Thailand #nightlife."

Unfortunately, the Loris is an endangered species.  Thai officials and wildlife groups have worked to make it illegal for people to possess the animals or to make a profit from them.  And charging tourists to snap photos with the animals is a no-no.

The government ordered the Ministry of Natural Resources and local Phuket officials to investigate once the pic hit the net.  In comes the Thai officials who, according to CNN, tracked down the two males (ages 16 and 20) who were responsible for handing over the Loris to Rihanna.  And the guys were promptly arrested Sunday night and charged for Possession of an endangered species.

"It is very difficult to do the raids because the touts have spies," Awat Nithikul, leader of the patrol officers, told The Phuket News.

"If someone hears that the police are coming their way, there will be a person who calls the touts and tells them to move. But this is a big deal because it might affect Thailand's reputation."

Either the Thai officials follow RiRi on Twitter/IG or due to the hundreds of thousands of Likes the pic received, word traveled to the authorities quickly.

While Ri's IG pic is the main cause for these boys' arrest, couldn't it also be a good thing since now an endangered species has been protected from possible exploitation & abuse?

 photo e668119623f111e38ed022000a1fbc58_7_zpsc0ed0213.jpg

Ri didn't let the drama stop her show though.  She rolled to Singapore afterwards to hit the stage in this RAF Apparel look.  And did so in front of 100,000 fans.  Nice!

Last night,  legendary actress Diahann Carroll passed the torch to "Scandal" star Kerry Washington as the two appeared on stage at the 65th annual Primetime Emmy Awards. While presenting the Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series, both women honored each other's work and offered words of encouragement to other actors and actresses.

Ms. Carroll, who earned an Emmy nod for "lead" actress in 1969 for "Julia" congratulated Kerry on her 2013 nomination for "Scandal", telling the crowd,"We're all very grateful to the Emmys because they've been on our side," referring to the show's recognition of Black actors (seemingly except for this year though), but added, "At the same time, we'd like it to be a little more with what's going on in the world. I feel we're a little behind, we need to catch up."

While Diahann, Kerry and Don celebrated the Emmys, comedian Damon Wayans took a more snarky appraoch to what he saw on the screen. On Twitter, he attacked the telecast calling it a "Celebration of Whiteness".

Other gems of his:

#Emmys it's a damn shame that there are more black people in the White House than there is in the entire Prime Time TV line up in network and cable television!

I can't be racist! People who create and uphold laws and institutions that oppress are racist. We are simply the pawns who benefit or not RT @taseeveryone: @rickrevenue @DamonkWayans @TheBrasshole that is hilarious, you accuse a people of being racist by actually being a racist yourself. Joker.

No The Networks are confusing Americans that people other than whites don't exist or matter sir. RT @taseeveryone: @DamonkWayans the Emmys aren't awarding contribution to American society though. You're trying to confuse the issue.

Do you agree with Damon?

For your afternoon sweet tooth, Jason Derulo's new video featuring his fab girlfriend Jordin Sparks is full of cuteness & sweetness.  And a little sexiness.  Check out the couple's romantic journey in his new "Marry Me' video.  Plus, DMX gets help from Dr. Phil in a new preview for the daytime talk show...

Cute couple Jason Derulo & Jordin Sparks brought their real life love to a music video.  In Jason Derulo's video for his newest single "Marry Me," the shirtless dancing crooner did some fancy footwork while Jordin laid across a piano looking fabulous.  And we see the twosome having cutesy pillow fights and food fights and eventually, Jason goes to shop for a fat diamond ring since he wants to spend the next 105 years with the love of his life.

Yes, we think all of this cheesy ish is cute.  Blame the hopeless romantic in us.  Peep the vid below, complete with plenty of obvious product placement:

Awwww.  Jason's new EP Tattoos drops tomorrow.

 

In other videos, DMX sat down with Dr. Phil to get to the bottom of his issues.  We doubt all his drama was solved in the 1 hour time slot, but here's a preview of what we can expect to see when the "Man Behind The Crime Headlines" episode of "Dr. Phil" airs this Wednesday:

 

Kordell Stewart BLASTS Porsha Stewart For Insinuating He's GAY, Says She'll Do ANYTHING For Fame!

Retired NFL player Kordell Stewart is blasting his soon-to-be-ex-wife Porsha Stewart for spreading gay insinuation "rumors" and says she'll do anything for fame!  See his statement inside...

With "Real Housewives of Atlanta" returning to Bravo in November, Kordell Stwart is back in the headlines (against his will) as his divorce from "RHOA" star Porsha Stwart is set to play out on the small screen.  

In the promo we showed you, you'll recall that Porsha seemed to "insinuate" something about Kordell's sexuality with this comment: "Kordell didn't want me physically....That made me wonder, what does he want?"  

Now that the promo has gone viral, Kordell has issued a statement blasting Porsha for spreading rumors and calling her a fame whore (in a very professional way)!  

I'm very ashamed of my wife for saying something that she knows is not true at all. The rumors have never been true. I'm not gay. It is sad that she would target the homosexual community which often times lacks support to begin with. It is very disappointing that she will do anything and say anything for a minute of so-called fame. She can have that life, I just want to continue to be the best single dad and father that I can for my son.

So far.....Porsha hasn't responded to "single dad" Kordell's statement but we expect a mouthful when "RHOA" returns on Sunday, November 3 at 8pm ET/PT on BRAVO.

BUT WHY: Kirk Frost Gets A Mole Surgically Removed....Inside Kandi's TAGS Boutique

It wouldn't be us getting this done....but apparently, ATL reality stars could give a damn about a few health code violations in exchange for an event that garners some publicity.

 

Check out what Kirk Frost had done inside Kandi Burruss' TAGS boutique....

Hey, we're not up on our City of Atlanta Health Code readings.  But something tells us this isn't the most sterile place to be doing any type of surgical and/or laser removal.  And it just seems odd in general.

"RHOA" star Kandi Burruss had an event at her clothing boutique TAGS in Smyrna over the weekend called Refresh for Fall where she brought it "Renowned Dermatologist Dr. Jing Jing Wong Harris of Pretty Faces ATL" for some surgical procedures for her patrons.

Folks were treated to on site services and consultations if they wanted to get ish removed from their scalps and faces.  Yep....right next to the rack of dresses on clearance.

We're all about finding new ways to pub your business, but this one just seems to be in the oddest of places.  A dermatologist digging into faces while folks are trying to scoot past the surgical table to get to the shoes & purses table?  We can't.

But it seemed to be a success for Kandi as she was IG'ing away from the event.

"LAHH ATL" star Kirk Frost, Rasheeda's husband, had some moles removed from his face.  We'll spare ya'll the creeptastic up close pics.  But if you're dying to see them, Freddy O's got them.

And something extra good came out of the interesting event.  Kandi, her daughter Riley and bestie Rasheeda of "LAHH ATL", who recently gave birth to  brand new baby named Karter, caught up with Tyler Perry outside the event.

Wonder what he thought of all this...

Retired NBA baller, Dr. Shaquille O'Neal (and you MUST say "Dr.") has become a minority owner of the Sacramento Kings.  Joining the ranks of other team owners like Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan, Shaq talked about his latest "mogul" move to USA Today saying, "What interested me in this deal is the new vision, the new Kings, the new everything. I've always wanted to be part of something like this. ... It's going to be great."

Dr. O'Neal (still can't believe that) is VERY aware that the Sacramento Kings have one of the lowest rankings in the industry and he's ok with that. In fact, he sees it as a plus.

"Worst is at the bottom, which means you can't get no worser. There's no such thing as worser, which means we can only get better. And we will get better." (Sidebar: He sounds like one of those kids in the AT&T commercials).

He added,

"Once that new arena comes, once that new downtown is up, once we have a conversation with the players and get everybody to step up, they'll be knocking on the door.  Hopefully Vivek, with Mr. Mastrov and myself and the team and organization can get it back to where it used to be. I'm telling you these new plans, oh my. You're going to be like, 'Sacramento is doing what?' That's what we want people to say."

Congrats Dr. Shaq!
