While most people would be totally bundled up in the freezing arctic-like temps and snowy weather of Aspen...this is how Mariah spends her time there...

She's in her favorite holiday vacay spot, so leave it to the Queen of Christmas to celebrate in her fave holiday look:  A bikini...apparently.

Mariah Carey posted pics of herself in a red bikini walking her dogs....in the snow.  Of course.

And then she threw on a matching robe and shoes to pose it up for a sexy Christmas tree pinup pic.  Oh MiMi...

She hit the hot tub with her twins Monroe& Moroccan.  So it looks like fine family fun is going down.  Bikinis and all!

We broke the story of Keshia Knight Pulliam& Big Tigger dating.  And even though we were basically called liars by Mr. Tigger....it looks like he's ready to let the truth be known.

Check out his romantic b-day message from his girl inside....

Back in August, we reported that actress Keshia and V103 radio host Big Tigger were boo'd up courtside AND back at her apartment building.  Tigger quickly said they were "just friends" and not a couple.

Oh really?  Because that tune seems to have changed recently.  The two have been pictured everywhere together...looking way more than just friends.  And for Tigger's birthday today, Keshia posted the above pic saying:

Happy Birthday My Love... My partner in life, love & silliness @bigtiggershow !!!

And with plenty of kisses and heart emojis.

Looks like they're confirming their couple status.  But they're not on that marriage tip quite yet....

How adorbs!  Over the weekend, Diddy and Kim Porter threw a lavish princess-themed birthday bash for their seven-year-old twins Jessie and D'lila.  The young ladies were surrounded by their closest friends, sister Chance and the world's most beloved princess characters.  Anything for the daughters of a mogul...

Their mom Kim--who dressed up as a princess as well--tweeted "We had so much fun at Jessie & D'lila's Princess Party ! I love my girls! Such a magical day! #girlfun #twinningFollow".

Jena Scaccetti, founder of Milk Pop Shop, was among the attendees at the party.  She helped the princesses create "Farrah" dolls and tweeted, "Making #milkPOP #farrah dolls with @iamdiddy's princesses! #unitythroughart encouraging kids to paint dolls as themselves since we come in all colors of the rainbow!"

Big brother Quincy crashed the party and took a few pics with his baby sisters and the "older" princesses.  SIDEBAR:  Was Disney's ONLY black princess, Princess Tiana, up in the party?

Chance attended the party as Snow White.  So cute!

The princesses capped off the weekend with a slumber party.  "#CombsTwins Big thank you to @onepiece & @idvproducts for the slumber party kits for my girls #Flipeez #Stompeez #FlashlightFriends BrightLightPillows" 

Damn...we want to be at THEIR party.

Rihanna is back home in Barbados.  And while most of the country is suffering from freezing temps, she's building sandmans. rocking her bikini and playing a very sexy santa.  Pics inside....

Rihanna's on Team Naughty.  And no one's surprised.  The pop princess put on her sexiest santa-inspired lingerie for her girl LeLe's party in Barbados last night.  And things seemed to have gotten real loose thans to the Goose:

She and Melissa looked like they had all kinds of fun.

And yesterday, Barbados' tourism ambassador showed us why she landed that title.  Rih posted pics from her Holiday vacay from her native Caribbean island just a few hours from freezing NYC.  And we're pretty much jealous:

While rocking a sexy grey bikini, she snapped some selfies to show the world exactly what she's doing.  Chillin' out.  She also posted a pic of a sandman--instead of a snowman.  Must be nice.

But these Christmas nails though.  She said:

Christmas nail swag! #lookinlikeijustfingeredKesha#SantaHat #Mistletoe #SnowMan #CandyCane
 

And she was caught on video doing her eyebrows by her girl LeLe.  And she didn't look all that happy about it.  Ha!

Mariah Carey chatted with Andy Cohen on last night's "WWHL" about the Obamas, Whitney Houston and how she penned one of the biggest Christmas songs of all time.  See the clips inside....

Last night, the fabulous Mariah Carey appeared on "WWHL" where she rocked a Tom Ford sweater, a skirt from The Row, an Alaia belt and earrings from Wilfredo Rosado. 

Andy Cohen's one-on-one with the diva included reflections on Whitney Houston and their friendship, her intimate relationship with her fans (the lambs) and she talked about writing "All I Want For Christmas Is You", a Christmas staple.

Mariah remembers Whitney:

Mariah on writing "All I Want For Christmas":

Mariah was nervous performing for The Obamas:

And did anyone else catch that shade about "a couple other people are doing it now" when she talked about putting fans in her videos to blow her hair?  Hilar.  MiMi is good for low key shade.

Over the weekend......

While Mariah's pre-taped WWHL interview aired on Bravo, she, Nick and Dem Babies were enjoying their family time in Aspen, CO.   

Over the weekend, she shared a few pics of she and Monroe on the slopes as well as some sexy bikini snapshots.

Chris Brown tapped his homies Kevin Hart and Tyga to help him with his charity work over the weekend.  Check out what the fellas were up to inside, plus Kanye West's Adidas reelase date and Drake heading to "SNL"....

Chris Brown left rehab yesterday....but only to put on his charity event.  On Melrose Ave. Sunday afternoon, Chris and his Black Pyramid clothing line and Brooklyn Projects skateboard company put on a charity children's toy drive.

He collected Christmas toys for underprivileged children and after delivering them, he changed clothes and headed to a skatepark to do his skate thing with a few cute kiddos.

Kevin Hart was there to help out and chill with fans.

Gotta love the skater kids.

Meanwhile...

Chris' frenemy Drake just nabbed a hosting gig on "SNL".  He's going back to his acting roots and will pull double duty as the show's musical guest.  It all goes down in the new season on January 18th.  This should be good....

And Kanye West has a release date for his new Adidas sneakers and more.  He confirmed on a recent Chicago radio show that his collection will debut September 2014.  And it will include both men and women's sportswear. 

His Yeezys also got a release date with Nike...and we're sure he's finally happy about that.  The Red Nike Air Yeezy 2 will be available ONLINE ONLY on December 27th at 8am EST.  Womp.

BONUS: Speaking of Drake and Kanye, the twosome performed together at a Yeezus afterparty in Toronto last night.  And they're proving it's no hard feelings over the Nike situation (Kanye leaving and Drake nabbing a deal of his own). Check the videos below:

Maybe it's jet lag....maybe it's a boring game.  Either way, The Obama ladies appeared to be totally over the basketball game they attended in Hawaii yesterday while on Christmas vacay.

Check the funny pics inside...

Ha!  Yawns and half-sleep looks are what the Obama family dished up for Craig Robinson's (First Lady Michelle's brother) Oregon State game as head coach.  His team took on the University of Akron for the Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu and the Obamas were on hand to support.

But since they just recently flew in to Hawaii....all the yawns could be a sign of jet lag.  Or maybe they'd just rather be on the beach.  Wouldn't we all?

The fam chomped on hot dogs and popcorn throughout the game.

The crowd gave our First Fam tons of applause when they entered into the arena.  We're sure heir annual Hawaii Christmas vacay will be major fun the rest of the time.

The latest official video release from Beyonce's hit visual album is "Yonce" featuring Chanel Iman, Joan Smalls and Jourdan Dunn.  Watch it inside....

Director Ricky Saiz paired Beyonce with three of the most sought after models in the world (Chanel Iman, Joan Smalls and Jourdan Dunn) for "Yonce", the latest visual from her Beyonce album.  She's released the full videos (which are also inlcuded in the album) for "XO" and "Drunk In Love" as well.

During an interview with MTV News, Ricky said he was inspired by George Michael's classic "Freedom" video. "I just tried to bring like a raw, kind of lo-fi, very New York kind of grimy, dark aesthetic to it." Here's how he broke down the video's concept:

On voyeurism and erotic sexuality

"It wasn't necessarily a fashion-driven video. I had very clear ideas of the aesthetic I wanted to bring. With themes of eroticism, leather and fishnets and close-ups and the stylist [Lysa Cooper] just really came through. [The singer] was very, very open. And she liked it and I think we made some memorable looks."

On Joan licking Beyonce's chest

"We were going through takes and it was her and Joan and they were close. And Joan went for the lick and we got it."

On Beyonce playing the role of a madam

"Beyoncé actually never sings in the video. She almost plays like a madam character and the girls are doing the performing for her in a sense. I think they are so important individually and have their own characters and they each really brought that to the set... [It's] almost like this just happened and we were there with our cameras."

Joan tweeted, "What an experience with the one and only @beyonce with my girls #SlayingIt #Yonce #MusicVideo #Dope #History #TellMeHowitsLookingBabe"

Watch "Yonce" here:

Zoe Saldana was spotted shopping with her husband, Marco Perego, and cheering him on during a soccer game this weekend.  See their pics inside and find out the release date of "Fast and Furious 7."  

On Sunday, actress Zoe Saldana cheered on her husband Marco Perego, during a soccer match in Studio City.  After Marco scored a goal, he quickly rushed to the sideline to plant a big kiss on the lips of his new wife.

Zoe cheered for Marco and took a few pics with her in-laws and her white chow/retriever mix Mugsy by her side.

Also......

The newlyweds were seen walking Mugsy and shopping at Barneys New York.

Zoe recently completed a whirlwind press tour for her latest flick Out of the Furnace.

At the movies......

Via Facebook, Vin Diesel reveaedl the release date of Fast and Furious 7 and share one of the last pics he took with the late Paul Walker.  He said, 

"The last scene we filmed together…

There was a unique sense of completion, of pride we shared… in the film we were now completing… the magic captured… and, in just how far we've come…

Fast and Furious 7 will be released…

April 10th 2015!

P.s. He'd want you to know first…"

Racism, in both subtle and overt tones, has reared its head again. See the latest international offenses inside....

For some odd reason, the appearance of "Blackface" on the pages of international fashion magazines is like a sore that won't heal.  Barcelona-based magazine, METAL, is the latest publication to paint one of its models "black" for the "Transmission" feature in the Fall/Winter 2013 issue. Joining the ranks of VOGUE Netherlands, Vogue Paris, L'Officiel Hommes, V, the fashion spread never really addresses why a dark-skinned--if that's what they were going for-- model wasn't hired to pull off the desired look.

What is this obsession with slathering black makeup on white models?

Over in Italy.....

"12 Years A Slave" is headed into theaters in Italy, but the promotional posters have a very different feel from what we experienced here in the States. Though Brad Pitt did play a small (yet pivotal) role in the film, promotional posters in Italy seem to give him top billing over the film's lead character, the enslaved Solomon Northup (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor). Why does a small white character get top billing in a film about slavery?

And it wasn't just Brad Pitt as the focus. Another poster used Michael Fassbender, who played a horrific slave owner, as the other poster.  When usually, in movie marketing, the film's protagonost is used in most artwork, it seems the Italian makerting strategy was to do the opposite.

SPEAK ON IT:  Is this racism?  Is this art?  Why does the "Black" experience get played to the left on an international level?

While Ciara tried to disguise her midsection behind some kids, she and her fiance Future hit up the Astronaut Kids Holiday Charity Event in Atlanta on Sunday.  Check the pics inside...

Yesterday, rapper Future did something great for the kids...alongside his fiancee Ciara and his Freebandz Label and Super Bowl champion Tyrone Poole's TP 38 Foundation.

The event was open to those in need this holiday season and featured games, food and music for the hundreds of kids and families in attendance.  And Future and his wife-to-be, donated coats, gifts and took photos with those at the event at Bessie Branham Park.

CiCi seemed to strategically place the kiddies in front of her as she donned an oversized sweater for the occasion.  Looks like she's still hiding a baby bump.

It would be a super cute Christmas bonus if the couple is indeed pregnant.   But either way, great cause by CICI & Future.

Arsenio Hall had a major crash last night....in his brand new Porsche!  Deets inside....

According to reports, late night talk show host Arsenio Hall crashed his brand new Porsche Cayenne S into a dirt shoulder around 7p last night while driving in L.A.

LAPD says he was given a field sobriety test and was not under the influence.   He appears to have simply lost control for an unknown reason.

No one was hurt in the incident.  And since Arsenio was "super nice" to the responding offices and no crime appears to have been committed, the investigation won't go any further.

Glad Mr. Late Night is A-OK!

Kanye West and his record label have been hit with a lawsuit by the man whose voice was used on "Bound 2".  More inside....

Ricky Spicer, the former lead singer of the children's R&B group The Ponderosa Twins plus One, is suing Kanye West, Roc-A-Fella Records, Island Def-Jam Music, Rhino Entertainment and Universal Music Group for using his voice on Kanye's hit "Bound 2".

Ricky, 65 and of Ohio, filed suit on Monday in Manhattan Supreme Court. 

The suit says, “Mr. Spicer’s voice is sampled exactly as he recorded it and his voice … is heard several times.”

He seeks compensation or demands Yeezus "cease and desist" from using his voice.

Looks like 'Ye didn't get that sample cleared...and thought he could get away with it.  Time to pay up!

Mariah Carey was spotted on an evening stroll through Aspen, CO. with her husband Nick Cannon and their twins Moroccan and Monroe.  See their pics inside....

Last night, "All I Want For Christmas" singer Mariah Carey (wearing a hooded jacket, black mini skirt, leggings and knee-high boots), was spotted on the streets of Aspen, Colorado with her husband Nick Cannon and twins Moroccan and Monroe in tow.

Mariah's annual holiday trip to Aspen came at the "perfect" time, allowing her to dodge the stream of negative press she got after performing for Angolan President Josè Eduardo Dos Santos.

During her pre-taped appearance on "WWHL", Mariah revealed that she wrote "AllI Want For Christmas" on a small keyboard (she plays piano) and that her biggest regret was giving 50% of the song's royalties to a keyboardist who worked with her during the recording of the song. 

On Instagram......

Mimi posted pics of the family in front of the mountains.  "The mountains..come on!! #WhenChristmasComes."

"Waiting on Daddy!"

"Rocstarr ready!!"

Mariah also shared a pic she took while posing on the ice skating rink.

Funnywoman Simone Shepherd teamed with JD Witherspoon for a hilarious parody of Beyonce's "Drunk In Love" video.  Watch it inside....

In her latest Beyonce parody, Simone Shepherd joins JD Witherspoon (and a bottle of Ciroc) for a funny take on "Drunk In Love" called "Drunk As F*ck".

Earlier this month, Simone joined a group of Black comics to audition for a coveted slot on "SNL".  We hope the execs are paying close attention to Ms. Shepherd.  She's talented!

A new custody lawsuit has revealed that Evelyn Lozada's baby daddy has a 5-month old daughter and a 9-year-old son.  Get lawsuit deets inside and do the math regarding a possible "overlap."

A few weeks ago, we revealed that Evelyn Lozada is 6-months pregnant by LA Dodgers star Carl Crawford, whom she quietly dated for a year. Now, a new lawsuit reveals that Carl has both a 9-year-old son and a 5-month-old daughter with Amy Freeman in Arizona!  Yep, the same state of Arizona where Evelyn has randomly moved to.  Is this where Carl stashes his chicks or something?

If you do the math, it may appear that Carl MIGHT have been double dipping with both Evelyn and Amy at the same time.  Or just knocked them up within a very close time period.  While that question lingers, the issue at hand is Carl taking Amy to court to block her from relocating their family to LA. 

If you're wondering why Carl wants to prevent Amy from moving closer to him, some speculate that California's more favorable child support laws would produce a substantial increase for Amy.  By the way...Carl's contract with the Dodgers is for $142M.

Messy.

Lil Kim is looking good on the new cover of Rolling Out magazine.  Check out everything she has to say about being the blueprint in this game....and her relationships with the media, Diddy and reality tv.  Plus, new music from Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz and Foxy Brown...

Lil Kim is opening up--in an icy way according to the cover story writer--about her legacy.  Find out her take on why she's still the Queen Bee in this game (or what she DOESN'T say) plus her upcoming music projects in the highlights below:

On why the public infatuation with her hasn't ceased even though she hasn't released a studio album since 2006

“No disrespect, no shade, but I’m not going to answer [that] question because I think that’s kinda corny,” she says adamantly. “I don’t know how to answer that....That’s not a question I would answer.  I’m blessed. That’s all I can say. And I am who I am.”

On her complex business-personal relation with Diddy

“I mean … business is business and personal is personal.  I think that’s always been clear, but you learn more why it’s clear as you live it.”

“Puffy called me one day and he tracked me down through some people I knew.  [He said] ‘No matter what, you’re going to always be my sister.’ We always go through things like that. At the end of the day, we’re tied to each other through B.I.G.’s estate and B.I.G.’s iconic, historic legacy.”

On extending her legacy

“I’m a real artist. I [have] basically been in the game for a minute, [so it’s] where I feel like it’s time to go to [another] level in my career.  I think every artist has that moment — if you’re a real artist. I care about what I do, so in different things [you’re] always concerned about your next step — but that doesn’t stop me from taking it.”

On steering clear of reality tv (outside of the hsows she's already done)

“I never say ‘never,’ but I don’t look at television shows or reality shows and say ‘I want to be on this show.  Not really. I’m more so into just watching them for entertainment purposes.”

On reigniting her music career

“I just think that my fans — not even just my fans, but even potentially new fans — are ready to hear some new Lil’ Kim music and everyone knows that … I put a lot of my reality into my music [that] people can identify with.  People are ready to hear real rap — real s— coming from a female. Because I’ve always been different, no matter what. My music has always been very sexual and very pro-women. Now I get to do that through my new artists. I have my label coming out, which makes me very driven. “

“It really wasn’t about taking my time — I had legality situations where legally I could not record because I was in situations where I couldn’t,”

On new album news

“Being so behind the scenes and taking on this boss lady role, I’ve come to know that you don’t announce your album,” Kim explains. “They can definitely look forward to singles from me this summer, for sure. But the album will come as soon as it’s ready and the time is right.”

On remaining the Queen Bee in this game

“That’s something I was born with. When you’re born with talent, you also have the talent to conduct your own business. With me, that’s how it is. I just know how to turn it on and off. I just know what I want from myself.

“In my field, I am the blueprint of what I do. I’ve always starred in my own lane.”

Check out the full story over at ROLLING OUT.

Leave it to 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne to make a Christmas style strip club track.  Apparently, "Twerk Season" is a new track off a likely upcoming collabo project between the two artists.

The song debuted in ATL last night.  And now, you're got the CD quality to listen nd twerk to for Christmas Eve.  Peep it below:

In other music news, Foxy Brown and her Ill Na Na have dropped a preview of another comeback track.  This one is called "D.R.U.G.Z."  So...yeah.

The full version of the track will appear on DJ Superstar Jay's upcoming mixtape, How Superstar Jay Stole Exclusives.  She spits,"I don't pop Molly, I rock the crown though."
