Rapper Trina was hospitalized after passing out at the airport this morning.  See her message to fans inside and get the deets on Baltimore Ravens receiver Jacoby Jones getting attacked and stripper name Sweet Pea is allegedly involved.  Ugh!

"Diamond Princess" Trina was hospitalized this morning after she passed out at a Florida airport due to "dehydration and overexertion." Scary!

Sources told TMZ that Trina has been battling an illness and passed out immediately after stepping off the plane.

While recovering at a local hospital, the "Tiny Tonight" host tweeted fans a pic from her bed saying, "Thanks for your concern and prayers! I'm ok, just ready to leave this place I hate needles.."

Get well soon Trina! 

In foolywang news.......

Injured Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones (left) was involved in a brawl with a stripper named Sweet Pea this morning!  Shouldn't he be focused on his damn career?!

According to TMZ, Jacoby was aboard a party bus filled with Ravens who came out to celebrate teammate Bryant McKinnie's (right) birthday.  The injured ones stay partying though don't they?

The group partied at Club Opera in DC, where Bryant hosted a party with Teyana Taylor.  Unfortunately, things got a ridiculously ratchet on the ride home.

Around 3am, a fight broke out and someone popped Jacoby upside his head with a bottle of Ace of Spades champagne. The hit was so hard that the bottle smashed and Jacoby was "bleeding everywhere."  When one of Jacoby's friends tried to "get at" a stripper named Sweet Pea who was also on board (because she was thought to have been the bottle throwing culprit), Bryant stepped in and then a brawl broke out between Bryant and the friend!

Cops were called to the scene but no police report was filed because no one cooperated. No snitching!

We wonder if Sweet Pea still got paid....

*UPDATE* Wondering who this Sweet Pea stripper chick is?  Yep, we were too.  So we found her IG account (which she just deleted) where she conveniently posted the above pics (that's her with the blonde hair and all black outfit) on a Ravens party bus  some time yesterday.

And according to the Big Lead, she's been friends with known stripper lover and befriend-er Bryant McKinnie since '03.  Go figure....

With all of their recent extra lovey dovey IG pics, you wouldn't guess that Dwyane Wade& girlfriend Gabrielle Union hit a rough patch recently in their relationship.  Dwyane Wade, on a very rare occasion, opened up to Jay Leno about their recent ups and downs inside....

Any relationship is hard.  But a relationship in the public eye involving two crazy busy people that began around mistress rumors...that mug seems impossible to make work.  But Gabby & Dwyane Wade are doing just that.  He even tweeted a hot pic of his girlfriend Friday night before a pre-Emmy party saying, "Dayuuuum how lucky am I?"

But if you were wondering what was up with that patch of time--right before summer--when they were rarely pictured together....it seems they were on a small break. 

Dwyane spilled the beans to Jay Leno saying:

"I'm going to tell you a little personal. Celebrity relationship are very hard."

"This was a big year for us in our relationship from the standpoint of she was shooting her show Being Mary Jane and gone most of the year. I was dealing with my injuries, trying to win a championship."

He went on:

"We kind of took a step back.  We supported each other, but we took a step back for a little while. At the end of day, we came back together and said, 'Listen, we want to continue this. We want to try to continue to get better each day.' She's been with me and I've been with her all summer long. We're going strong now."

Hence, their cutesy trips to Italy, Mexico and beyond this summer.   Check out Dwyane divulging their relationship hardships below: 

He dished on bestie LeBron & Savannah's wedding as well, which he attended with his girlfriend:

24-year-old Blake Griffin just became a baby's daddy.  Find out the deets on his athlete loving baby mama inside...

Well here's a shocker.  LA Clippers star Blake Griffin had time to make a baby during the last NBA season.  Because, according to a circulating birth certificate, he and 27-year-old blondie Brynn Cameron welcomed a bouncing baby named Ford Wilson Cameron-Griffin on August 1st.

Brynn is a former USC basketball player.  But she's most known for sharing a 7-year-old son named Cole Cameron Leinart with NFL QB Matt Leinart, who was just released from the Buffalo Bills last month.  The two broke up before she had the baby and had some serious child support drama going on.  That's all been smoothed over with Brynn getting a cool $15K/month, but will it all start up again with Blake?

The twosome started dating back in 2011, but broke up before the baby was born.

As for how Brynn & Blake met, aside from her apparent get-sponsored-by-an-athlete skills....

Brynn's younger brother, Jordan Cameron, also was a USC athelete who entered the NFL. Right before the 2011 draft, Blake Griffin helped Jordan make a funny video to get the scouts' attention. So Blake & Brynn possibly could have met through Jordan. Brynn's brother explained how he first met Blake in an interview last year with Cleveland.com:

"My roommate in college was James Dunleavy and his dad was the Clippers coach at the time. So we kind of got him acclimated to town and showed him around. We started hanging out from that. We had an idea for a video and my agent got involved, and it took off from there."

Check out the video below:

Blake has yet to address his new offspring on any of his social media outlets or anywhere else.  Guess he's taking pointers from Dwight Howard.

Congrats on new daddyhood Blake!

"I Dream of Nene" star Laura Govan celebrated her birthday with a huge bash thrown by her husband Gilbert Arenas and many of their celebrity friends (including Tank and Chris Paul) were attendance.  See the pictures inside and our red carpet interview with the lady of the night....

On Saturday night, former NBA star Gilbert Arenas threw a huge birthday bash for his wife Laura Govan at a private home in the Hollywood Hills.  And, as usual, she had on the most minimal clothes as possible.

TheYBF.com was in attendance at the lavish affair (which was a small piece of a much larger birthday weekend for Laura).  She began with a movie night for her close friends Friday, followed by a pre-birthday BarBQ on Saturday afternoon.  After Saturday night's party, Laura and her friends split into teams and had a paint ball shoot-out with a $20K prize and a post-outing dinner on Sunday.

On Saturday night, she rocked a custom designed "dress" by Michael Costello. Not bad for a mother of four!

Laura's sister Gloria Govan posed with her husband, Matt Barnes.  The Govan sisters shooting their own reality show and Laura hinted that they deal is done. Though she wouldn't reveal any deets, she said "God Is Good. Things are happening."

We caught up with the sexy Gloria and asked about her former "BBW" stars.  She revealed to us that she doesn't talk to ANY of them, but added that she's been cordial to Jackie Christie (depending on which of her multiple personalities is in the room) and that Imani Showalter is "sweet".

Singer Tank walked the red carpet with baby moms Zena Foster.  We talked to him about the rendition of the national anthem at the Floyd Mayweather fight and the uproar is caused.  When asked if folks were mad, he said,"They were mad at the time, but by the end of the fight....they understood me."    He also agreed with us that this live performance by TGT was a"disaster."

Los Angeles Clippers baller Chris Paul attended with his wife Jada.  We asked them about LeBron & Savannah's wedding and they said it was "lovely".

Daphne Wayans was there.

Actress Naturi Naughton rocked a floral print dress with a black bustier.  

"Married To The Game" star Tiffney Cambrige came out to support Laura.   Are we feeling this outfit?

Comedic actress Torrei Hart told us that her ex-husband Kevin Hart is super supportive of her career.  Well isn't that sweet...

Rumored new "LAHH LA" star Teairra Mari was there.  Are these new boobs...or just an ill fitting bustier top?

Actress Porscha Coleman wore a mesh cut out fitted dress.

Boxer Sugar Shane Mosley walked the red carpet.

"The Soul Man" star Wesley Jonathan toasted Laura and her special day.

Tank serenaded Laura with Happy Birthday....after she made an outfit change.

And there was lots of live entertainment.....

Of course Gilbert...

K.Michelle is already one step ahead of the media, who put her tax woes on blast this morning.  Find out how she responded to what she supposedly owes inside...

We all know how the federal government and the IRS can move at the speed of a damn tortoise when updating their systems.  So it seems that's exactly what's happened to singer K.Michelle when it comes to her taxes.

A report surfaced this morning that she owes Uncle Sam over $52,000 in back taxes from the years 2008 and 2009.  Apparently the table shaking reality star didn't pay enough during those years after her career took off in '08 with her "Fakin It" single with Missy Elliot.

But K. was on her ish.  Because she's already handled it.  The "V.S.O.P" singer posted a message this morning saying:

"Another day another headline. No jail time for me yet. Your stuck with me."

And she explained with this note:

Meanwhile, K. is busy shooting the NYC version of "Love & Hip Hop" and working on her own spinoff reality show with bestie Elle Varner.

Drake appeared on "Chelsea Lately" last night where he dished about his past fling with Rihanna and revealed that he likes to "take control" in the bedroom.  Watch the provocative interview inside....

Drake dropped by "Chelsea Lately" to promote the release of Nothing Was The Same (in stores today) and to talk about his daily soul cleanse.  And, as usual when any appear is on the show, Chelsea got down and dirty about his bedroom behavior.

First, he told Chelsea,

"I had this moment this morning, it was like I was trying to figure out, like, how I could have a fresh start to my day, and I was standing at the sink and I decided I would throw out my toothbrush and start with a new toothbrush. And surprisingly, it was like an extremely soul-cleansing experience. So, I stopped at CVS and got you the Oral B variety pack. There's like a solid eight soul-cleanses in there."

This guy...

Drake also lit a candle and proceeded to have a hilarious chat that involved “penetrating” Rihanna.  Drizzy said,“We’re way past that. I need somebody new to penetrate, by the way. You always bring up the old flings. I need something new.”

When Chelsea said she could "help" him with that...the convo REALLY went left. Chelsea also revealed that she didn't like to do "much", which prompted Drake to say he likes to "take control".  We don't really believe you Drizzy.

Catch Drake on his Would You Like A Tour? (starting Sept 25th) and watch the clip above.....

"LAHH ATL" star Rasheeda is opening up about her life with Baby Karter Frost and how she and husband Kirk Frost have been doing since the cameras stopped rolling on their reality show.  Get the deets on where Rasheeda stands in her marriage and how Kirk embraces fatherhood inside....

While Rasheeda and Kirk Frost were virtually invisible during the first season of "LAHH  ATL", the couple's martial woes became the biggest storyline of the show's second season, causing viewers to get completely invested in their marriage and the birth of their child Karter Frost.  

In a new interview with Mara The Hip Hop Socialite, Rasheeda opens up about Kirk and Baby Karter, revealing that Kirk is 100% committed to Karter, but they're still rebuilding their marriage.  You know....since jumpoffs and sexing outside your marriage on national TV can cause problems...

Here are the highlights:

ON THE NEW BABY:

“He’s great, he’s absolutely great! He’s just a handsome little angel. Of course you know the first month – we haven’t reached our first month yet – but yeah, it’s rough. It’s every 3 hours. Doesn’t matter the time. Twelve midnight, three in the morning, six, nine, twelve, it’s no joke.”

ON HOW KIRK HAS TAKEN TO BEING A FATHER AGAIN DESPITE HIS INITIAL REACTION TO HER PREGNANCY:

“He’s actually just amazing to be honest with you. He’s just been a great father, he’s been, you know, allowing me to get my rest as much as possible, and regardless to the fact that you can’t get past the crying that you hear from the baby, but he’s been really, really great. You know he’s always been a good father regardless of how it looked on television as far as the things he said about ‘I’m tired of raising kids,’ and whatnot, you know. He has four adult children, you know. Over 18 [years old] kids that he was more so speaking about, but as far as him in Karter’s life, he’s just been 100% just doing his damn thing.”

ON IF SHE AND KIRK ARE IN A BETTER PLACE IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP:

“I mean you just take it one day at a time, and the main thing is just being parents number one, and then just continuing to grow our friendship, and to try to get back in a place. But you just don’t rush things, you just take one day at a time and just keep it moving.”

ON RUMORS THAT SHE AND KIRK FAKED THEIR RELATIONSHIP ISSUES BECAUSE THEY WERE IN DANGER OF BEING FIRED AFTER SEASON ONE:

“Well, first of all, the chopping block situation, we didn’t know anything about that. Every thing was every thing. We came back season 2 so we wouldn’t be on the chopping block. And, like I said, everybody has problems; ain’t nobody perfect. I got pregnant, and Kirk wasn’t happy about it. The sh*t was the real deal. He felt like he felt, and went and did what he did, and that’s him. It wasn’t no fictitious sh*t. I mean, people go through stuff, and the killer part that really be bugging me out is, the reason why people could relate so much is a lot of us been through that type of situation. The things that were going on with me and Kirk…you know what, if you’re on reality TV, and you’re going through some sh*t, then you’re going through it, and that’s what it is, and people can weigh in and say they feel like this and they feel like that, they can say what they want to say, but we have real issues. We have other sh*t that goes on in our relationship that people may not have seen just for the simple fact that it’s too many damn people on the show, and you don’t have all that camera time to speak to everybody. At the end of the day, we’re real people with real issues, with real problems, and the difference is it played out on TV with cameras in front of us, straight up and down. You know what, people have to weigh in, they saying what they saying. A lot of people feeling like this and feeling like that, but at the end of the day, a lot of people could relate because it was some real sh*t, and a lot of times a lot of people done been through the situation. No it ain’t no fake made up sh*t – who want to make up some sh*t like that? Who wants to go through that as a person? You know what I’m saying? But it’s life, and it is what it is. You play the cards that you dealt with, and you move forward. And in a relationship, it can either mess up a relationship and tear you apart, or it’ll make you stronger, end of story. And I’ve seen people go through way worse sh*t than what me and Kirk been going through.”

Rasheeda said she and Kirk plan to return for Season 3 of "LAHH ATL".  Oh joy. Read the full interview here.

NoW that Miley Cyrus and producer Mike Will Made-It have convinced the masses they're now dating, or whatever you want to call it, Mike has taken his "rebound" position and put it in a basketball themed vid set in high school.

Check out his new "23" video ft. Miley, Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J inside...

The lead single off Mike's forthcoming Est. in 1989, Pt. 3 LP now has a video treatment.  "23"--a shoutout to the Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan--brings together this random group of folks: Mike Will, Miley Cyrus, Juicy J. and Wiz Khalifa.

Everybody goes back to school to suit up in their fave gear (in Miley's case--as little as possible) and their fresh J's at Brooklyn’s Bishop Ford High School.

And this ish ensues.  Check out the video below:

BONUS: Kanye is the latest rapper to sing Miley's praises as if she's the first ratchet-wannabe blonde chick and we should all, for some reason, credit her with developing ish people have been doing for years.  In Miley's new Rolling Stone interview, she revealed that 'Ye came into her dressing room right before her much-talked-about VMAs performance and gave her some words of worship that calmed her down. 

And after they recorded together and he bought her umpteen pairs of shoes, Miley says they've become "homies."  Check the excerpt below:

Miley admits that before the telecast, she was feeling a little nervous. But then she got a visit in her dressing room that made her feel better. Kanye West had seen her rehearsals and wanted to talk to her before she went onstage. "He came in and goes, 'There are not a lot of artists I believe in more than you right now,'" she recalls. "The whole room went quiet. I was like, 'Yo – can you say that again?!'" She laughs. "I just kept repeating that over and over in my mind, and it made me not nervous."

After the show, Miley and Kanye met up at a Manhattan recording studio to work on a remix for his song "Black Skinhead." The next day he sent a text: "He said, 'I still can't quit thinking about your performance,'" Miley says. She also happened to mention that a pair of fur Céline slippers she'd bought were falling apart, and Kanye bought her five more pairs. "Kanye is the shit," she says. "I kind of have a good relationship with him now. It's good to have someone you can call and be like, 'Yo, do you think I should wear this?' 'Do you think I should go in the studio with this guy?' 'Do you think this is cool?' That's what homies are supposed to do."

Kanye's unfortunate worship of trashy porn/stripper acting (or their actual occupation) chicks continues. #WeMisOldYe

Drake is taking his "Hold On, We're Going Home" video tot he next level by making it a Godfather style mini movie.  Watch Drake try to save his kidnapped Queen from the bad guys in these shoot 'em up visuals....

As his album Nothing Was The Same hits stores today, Drizzy revisits his acting days by creating a cinematic mini movie around the single that's all about finding home again.

Drake's homie A$AP Rocky has a starring role as the right hand man who helps him save his damsel in distress. 

Watch the T-Dot native do a quick change from his suit and tie (well, there's no tie) into his Black Ops attire with weapons as he and his crew find and recapture his woman from the bad guys.  And it all plays out in a little over 7 minutes.

You feelin' it?

Teyana Taylor seriously believes she's beefing with Rihanna and she wants the "bad gal" to "man up" and stop with the subliminal attacks.  But plenty of folks think Rihanna wasn't even thinking about Teyana at all.  Watch the Instagram videos that have started a war between Teyana and Riri's Navy inside....

The man above is Rihanna's hairstylist, Yusef, and he's started a heap of mess based on a somewhat hilarious video of himself in a curly wig and baseball cap singing Anita Baker's"Rapture."  At first look, it might appear that Rihanna and her pals are just having a little fun (while touring), but fans of Teyana Taylor are seeing red!

A few days ago, T posted a video of herself singing "Rapture".  Now, Yusef has posted the same song while rocking a "look" VERY similar to Teyana's style.  

If Yusef would have posted the clip on his own page, it may have gone unnoticed; however, Rihanna posted it on her own damn page!  

We've all watched Rihanna take subliminal shots at Ciara and Karrueche Tran on Twitter/IG over the past few months, so it's not outside of her realm to throw SHADE at other artists.  But...you be the judge....

Teyana......

Yusef (via Rihanna)

Once Teyana's fans started complaining, Teyana snapped back going at RiRi's head...

And....

We're not saying Rihanna is throwing shade.....but we're just (possibly) saying.  It very well could have been just some good ol not-that-serious fun.

[UPDATE]: Y'all know it was only a matter of time before Rihanna popped back...with Melissa in tow. Check out the below:

Rihanna stars in "Fashon Killa", the latest video from A$AP Rocky.  Watch the clip inside that sparked all those on-set make-out pics going viral....

A$AP Rocky tapped Rihanna to star as his love interest and eye candy in the clip for "Fashion Killa", the latest single from his debut disc Long Live A$AP.  

Though the song itself was pretty lackluster, Rihanna provided some good visuals with her mix of street gear and high fashion, including a beaded Tom Ford zebra print.  

While A$AP namedrops nearly 30 designers in the song, he told FORBES, “I think ghetto people don’t get the tastemaker side of me and I think hipsters don’t get the reckless side of me. And I’m both: I’m like a ghetto hipster. “Fashion is all around us.”

What he doesn't get is....anyone with sense can see that.  Trust us, we get it.

A$AP Ferg and the rest of A$AP Mob also made appearances in the vid.

Watch it above....

Lamar Odom's dad, Joe, is talking....and he's saying what we've all been saying for a while now.  Check out the major bashing of the Kardashian Klan by Daddy Odom and his first hand experiences with them, and why he knows Khloe& her mama Kris are the reason Lamar is currently suffering.

Plus, Khloe seems to be on the hunt for another husband, because she hit not 1, but 2 clubs with rapper The Game last night....

It's the scenario most of America called as soon as news of Lamar's "crack cocaine" problem hit the net.  

Lamar Odom is desperate to get out of his marriage to Khloe and to get away from the Kardashian Klan, this according to a new interview with his father Joe. But since their image & their money making trumps all, that family isn't letting it happen for him so easily. 

While we do think it's odd Joe admitted no responsibility of his own (as a "former" hard core drug addict) having contributed in any way to Lamar's new drug problem, it's not too hard to believe everything else coming out his mouth.

In a merciless rant with Radar Online, Joe revealed he wishes Lamar would leave Khloe after he saw with his own two eyes the disgusting lengths the Kardashians would go to in protecting their image:

'Someone’s got to speak out, I’ve got to do something about this. It’s simple. They brought him down.'

'He would be better off without them. Let him go and get his life together. I think the best thing for him would be to have a clean break, divorce Khloe and as a single man try and get his life back together.'

He added: 'The mother has been talking a lot of trash about my son, saying he’s on drugs and stuff like that.

'She’s got something against my son, something against my family. Kris Jenner is very negative. She’s an evil b***h. She doesn’t care about Lamar, she just cares about their image and money.'

He then went on to insinuate the Kardashians have their own demons:

'I blame Kris in particular, she’s been through a lot of stuff herself. She’s no Cinderella.

I can’t really say if the Kardashians are doing drugs, but my son would never use hard drugs. I can’t pinpoint right now who’s giving it him, but I’m going to investigate. The Kardashians haven’t been a good influence on my son.'

And then he lashed out with this little nugget:

'They don’t give a f*ck about my son. It’s more about the damage they do to the Kardashian brand. They brought him down. He’d be better off without them. Let him go, get his life together.'

Well damn!

Oh, but there's more.  Lots more.  He went in on Khloe's "private" persona, which is totally different, and meaner, than her public one.  At least Joe says so:

I wish he had never got married to Khloe to be honest. She’s controlling. Those Kardashian women all are. You get married they think they wear the pants. You just bring them your whole paycheck, that’s how it works.

'I saw her totally differently when I heard the way she talked privately. It isn’t pleasant. In public she’s nice, but if you see her personally you see the real person come out of her.

The mother’s like that too. The whole family, they put up an act.'

And the killer:

'I heard Kim say they don’t have crackheads in their family. That *issed me off. Look at where she came from. We don’t want porno stars in our family.'

Bloop.

Meanwhile, Khloe--who was reportedly rocking her wedding ring last night but hiding it in pics--removed her last names from her social media pages.  And hit the clubs with The Game last night:

Game's assistant (pictured in the middle above) Lolo Instagrammed pics with with Khloe, and bestie Malika there as well.  And they all hit up Hollywood hotpots Tru Hollywood and Drai’s.  Khloe's also been spending her days traveling around with her fam---who she constantly shots out on Twitter with rare mentions of her husband--and getting in great shape.

Sounds like she's on a mission to us.  A commenter on IG underneath this pic said:

Game will marry Khloe before he marries his own fiancee Tiffney Cambridge.

We chuckled...

We have a roundup of some of the hottest male actors on the soaps, Redaric Williams, Lamon Archey and Lawrence Saint-Victor (whom you should meet) as well as the official release date of the Jamie Foxx& Quvenzhanze WallisAnnie remake inside....

Any soap opera fan can speak of the legendary sexiness that Shemar Moore (aka Malcolm) and Kristoff St. John (aka Neil) brought to the table on The Young & The Restless (SIDEBAR: Kristoff is still on Y&R) and now there's a new group of sexy studs on the soaps!  Meet Redaric Williams, Lamon Archey and Lawrence Saint-Victor (stars of CBS’s The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful).

We first met Redaric Williams when he covered ROLLING OUT Magazine.  Recently, the Detroit native talked to Ebony.com about his success on Y&R (as "Tyler Michaelson") and also revealed the origin of his stage name Redaric (his real name is Jimmy). 

“It stems from the word red. People have been calling me that for years because of my skin tone from the time I was a little kid. I was doing music before any of this stuff so when I was looking for a name to use, nothing [else] was really giving me that feeling. I always liked Greek words. I came across the word rhetoric, [which means] the art of language, conveying a message to an audience. I took that word, changed the spelling of it, and incorporated the word red in it.”

Lamon Archey stars on Y&R as Mason Wilder. He chatted with Ebony.com about the fateful moment he found out he'd landed a role on the soap.

“I was picking up my son from school and pulled over on the side of the road, got out of the car and did a couple of jumps. I was so pumped. Honestly, I’m so blessed to be a part of the show. I feel like the year that I came on was just a good year because it’s the 40th anniversary. There’s so much going on with the show that I’ve been blessed to be a part of. I was able to build relationships with many of the actors and get to know them, which definitely helps.”

NY native Lawrence Saint-Victor stars on The Bold and the Beautiful as Carter Walton. If you catch him on the show, you'll notice that he spend a lot of his time on-screen without a shirt off (thankfully!). He told Ebony,com, "It’s something I didn’t think about when I was training, but I knew it was something I had to be aware of. That’s why I stayed in the gym. When you join a show called The Bold and the Beautiful, you have to go hard.”

And in case you were wondering....

Liftime‘s Army Wives has been cancelled! Dratz..

The network is planning a two-hour retrospective special with cast members that will air early next year. Lifetime’s EVP and GM Rob Sharenow said,“There is no denying how special Army Wives has been to both Lifetime and the television landscape. By taking on a very relevant and timely issue, it has brilliantly captured the challenges our military families endure and the bravery they and their loved ones display while serving our country.”

Condolences to Ashanti.

So, Nicki Minaj wore this outfit to "Ellen" yesterday.  Check out the full look inside, plus KeKe Palmer flossing her toned bod on the cover of Heart & Soul...

Nicki Nicki Nicki...

While having your inner boob and under boob on full display could work inside the club...or even one of your raunchtastic videos, we're not sure it works for daytime tv's "Ellen".  It's possible she didn't wear this leather jogging pant with a leather barely buttoned blazer for the actual taping, but she surely wore it on her ay to the taping, and after the taping.

We shall see....

Meanwhile, Nicki's on a Minajesty press tour to pub her new fragrance.  And we're sure she'll be mentioning her new Nicki Minaj collection at KMart.

Speaking of bodies on display, 20-year-old KeKe Palmer is covering the new issue of Heart & Soul magazine.  And she's showing off the fruits of her workout labor.

The all-grown-up actress/singer is talking her fitness game and her new VH1 TLC biopic "Crazy Sexy Cool" (Oct. 21st). And we're so ready for that one.

Well isn't this...interesting.  After rapper Tyga and girlfriend Blac Chyna's recent double date with Kanye West & his girl Kim K., it looks like Kim's found herself a new bestie in Blac Chyna.  Pics of the twosome grabbing lunch yesterday with Kourtney K. & Scott Disick inside...

Kimmy is back to calling the paps and seems ready to be back on the scene after working on her post baby bod.  She also grabbed a new prop friend (since LaLa, Serena & Kelly Rowland seem to not be in the picture like they used to be) to tout around.

Stripper turned rapper's baby mama Blac Chyna was spotted leaving Stanley's Restaurant in L.A. with Kim (who rocked a cute army green cargo jumpsuit), her sister Kourtney, and Scott yesterday.  And since Chyna has always tweeted & IG'd her obsession with Kim -- who is the brand ambASSador of the stripper/porn star come-up -- we're not that surprised the two have become fast friends after being introduced by their baby's daddies.

The production cameras were rolling, of course, so it's very likely Ms. Chyna will get her 15 mins on one of the umpteen Kardashian shows on E!.

Maybe they were planning a playdate with North& King Cairo.  How cute...

Drake is on the road doing promo for "NWTS" and we have a roundup of a few of his interviews.  Find out what he revealed about his fight with Nicki Minaj, what he thinks about Kendrick Lamar's"Control" verse and how he compares himself to Jay Z and Kanye West inside.....

A few days ago, Drake dropped by "Chelsea Lately" to set the mood for the release of Nothing Was the Same (in stores) and now, he's branched out to various radio outlets on both coasts about the disc.

During a stop by Big Boi's Power 106, he discussed the "Tuscan Leather" song, which hints at a riff with Nicki Minaj and a break-in their friendship.  When asked where the two rappers stand with each other today, he said, 

"I was at a point with Nicki when I made that song. The first song is not where I'm at right now. That song picks up at an earlier point in my life. I have done something that I had to reevaluate and fix. We're good. I choose to express personal things in my music. I don't ever do it with malice. I hope when she hears that line she knows that she's necessary in my life and I care about her."
 

Listen to the Power 106 interview here:

And on Hot 97.....

Drake stopped by Angie Martinez's show where he addressed the infamous Kendrick Lamar "Control" verse (sigh) and where he stands on battling with Mr. Lamar.

"Then let it be real, then. 'Cause those were harsh words, right? You can't just say that and then see me and be like nothing ever happened. That's not like the nature of battling. There's passion behind it. There's anger behind it. I personally enjoy making, like, great music and bodies of work over, like, being the talk of Twitter for, like, five days ... I don't know if it was worth it. Because there's a lot of people that were mentioned that I feel like can't really go back and fuck with that guy after that."
 

Angie also asked Drake about his relationship with Jay Z and he said, "[It's] one of the strongest, if not the strongest [ with any rapper] ... He's just like an incredible mentor to me." 

And in case you were wondering if Drake thinks of himself as a rapper of the same caliber as Jay and Kanye West, he said, "I'll forever be looking up at those guys but, I do have the best album of the year, I will say that."

Snaps.

In other Drake news, Page Six reports that he and Chris Brown have allegedly buried the hatchet. Apparently, a "peace treaty" was worked out by Def Jam music exec Abou Thiam, one of Chris' managers (and Akon's brother). Sources say Abou is “very friendly with Drake, and worked to try and get him and Chris together to put their differences aside.”

A spy said Drake and his crew watched Chris' entire set at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas over the weekend.  The source said,  "They were backstage hugging and drinking.”

Well....we're glad that's over.  

Unsigned baller Lamar Odom is blaming his deadbat dad for his "downfall" and has blasted him for attacking the Kardashians.  Read what he wrote inside and see what The Game said about his alleged brawl with Brandon Jennings.  

A few days ago, Lamar Odom's father gave a scandalous interview to Radar Online where he trashed the Kardashian family and blamed THEM for Lamar's drug addiction.  Well....that didn't go over very well with Lamar.  Though LO has been off the radar supposedly handling his drug problem, he resurfaced on Twitter to call his father out for being a deadbeat and he even linking his own "dark time" to his father's demons and drug addictions.  

The biggest slap in the face came when Lamar called his dad a deadbeat and is convinced that the Kardashians are the ONLY family who has even loved him and have not expected something in return.  His tweet is below in full:

Meanwhile, it does "appear" that Lamar's wife, Khloe, is holding on to the marriage.  She was spotted out partying with The Game a few night ago BUT she did wear her wedding ring (though it was concealed in pics).  

But wait, there's more..........

Daddy Odom seems to have had a change of heart (and mind) now that he's pissed off his alleged meal ticket.  As quickly as Lamar's tweet hit, Daddy Odom has begun singing a different tune.  Now he's telling TMZ that Lamar is "clean" and the Kardashians are a "wonderful" family.  We think he's afraid his allowance is about to get slashed.  You be the judge...

And in club dust ups......

Rapper The Game is denying reports that he punched out NBA baller Brandon Jennings (both shown above at the NBA 2K14 premiere party at Greystone Manor on Monday) .  Hip Hollywood reported that the men got into a nasty fight this past weekend at the LA Hotspot Lure during their "Toxic" day party.  The report read, 

Jennings was at Lure hosting his birthday party with friends, which didn't sit well with the Compton rapper who frequents the club. “Game feels like Toxic is his, and he didn't like that Jennings was hogging the microphone. He felt like he was being disrespected,” one person who witnessed the altercation tells us. “Game tried to have words with him, and it just escalated quickly and Game hit Brandon in the mouth."

Since the story went viral, The Game has gone on record to deny hitting Brandon. During a recent radio interview, the rapper said, “I get a bad wrap, but between you and me, I ain’t had a real good solid fight since I beat up 40 Glocc. I didn’t punch that dude in the face. I was right there. Some words were exchanged and they [hit him]. I seen it, but it wasn’t me.”

Meanwhile HH reports that Brandon tweeted, "Sucker punch when I wasn’t looking. PS, my face is great. Looks the same. See!!!”

So....it looks like one of The Game's crew member hit Brandon. SMH......We guess this beef is squashed since the men bumped into each other on Monday and nothing jumped off.

Hot bodied G.O.O.D. Music artist Teyana Taylor called into Hot 97 this morning to speak out about the nasty Twitter war that erupted between her and Rihanna.  Hear what she had to say inside...

Teyana Taylor has some things to discuss after the nasty war of words that popped off on Twitter and Instagram between herself and former friend Rihanna.  Teyana said she's been in the studio focusing on her music and had no idea why Rihanna would throw shade at her (with that video of Rih's hairstylist Yusef seemingly mocking her singing).  

She went on to call Rihanna a cyber bully and said, "She had dope music and she's a pretty girl. But that don't mean that you can just bully anybody."  

Teyana also took issue with Rihanna claiming that her net worth was $90 Million while Teyana's net worth was $500K.  Then she clapped back Riri by calling her "industry pussy" and saying her body count was right up there with her net worth!

Chile....

Listen to Teyana clap back above.....

It's been a minute since we've seen Missy Elliot out and about.  But the VA chick was spotted walking the East Village Manhattan streets yesterday with a "friend"--who is also her new artist Sharaya J.--and famed fashion deisgner Patricia Field.  Does someone have a fashion project on deck?

She's always been known to rock out-there looks and have fun with fashion and her videos.  So seeing Missy Elliot out with "Sex & The City" & "The Carrie Diaries" designer Patricia Field makes us wonder....does the VA singer/producer have something fashion worthy up her sleeve?

Recently Missy wrote Fantasia's "Without Me" banger, which also features Kelly Rowland.  And we're still blastin' it....

The Randomness:

1.  Zoe Saldana put her L.A. home on the market for $1.9 mill, now that she's secretly married Marco Perego.  STORY

2.  Paula Patton"backed it up" on Al Roker this morning on the "Today" show.  Drop it low then Paula... VIDEO
