NEW DEALS: Jay Z SIGNS NBA Draft Prospect James Young To Roc Nation Sports + Ray Rice Pleads NOT GUILTY To Aggravated Assault

Well here’s a twist. Jay Z just signed NBA draft prospect James Young to Roc Nation Sports.  Also, Ray Rice has entered a not guilty plea for allegedly knocking his fiancee-turned-wife unconscious. All the deets inside…

When we spotted former University of Kentucky shooting guard James Young sitting courtside at the Barclay’s Center for the Brooklyn vs. Toronto NBA playoff game next to Rihanna (with her nipples on full display) it left us wondering …why?

Now it kinda makes sense. Jay Z just signed the 18-year-old draft pick to his Roc Nation Sports roster, joining WNBA player Skylar Diggins. James is currently projected to be pick #15 in the first round of the 2014 NBA Draft.

James played on Drake's fave NCAA team (University of Kentucky) and Drizzy was also spotted rocking his custom-created James Young logo jersey at the NCAA championship weeks ago.

So...are Jay & Rih trying to get under Drizzy’s skin? You know, Drake and Jay have been going back-and-forth on wax recently. Jay’s latest jab at Drizzy was on DJ Khaled’s“They Don’t Love You No More” rapping, “Wrong sports, boy, you know you soft as the lacrosse team”
 

And there have also been unconfirmed rumors that RiRi & Drizzy have cooled off their unconfirmed relationship.  Guess Jay is winning…for now.

And in other sports-related news…

 photo rrjanay.jpg

Today, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice pleaded NOT guilty after he was indicted on third-degree aggravated assault charges following a huge brawl with his fiancée-turned-wife Janay Palmer.

Ray also applied for a pretrial intervention program in an attempt to avoid formal prosecution. If the NFL running back is not accepted into the program he will be facing a judge on May 29th. On the flip side......there’s a plea agreement on the table for Ray (if he's not approved to enter the program) in which he would receive probation with no jail time and will have to attend anger-management counseling BUT he has to plead guilty.

You’ll recall Ray was arrested back in February after a brawl between him and his now wife/child’s mother at the Revel Casino and Hotel in Atlantic City, N.J. He was accused of knocking Janay unconscious and there was video footage of him dragging her body out of an elevator. Janay was charged with simple assault but it was later dropped.

Days after his indictment, Ray & Janay conveniently got hitched. Remember she said she didn’t want to press charge? Chile…

Since they've married, Janay can claim a spousal privilege where she will not have to testify against her husband (SIDEBAR: they walked hand-in-hand as they made their way in court this morning).

Still no confirmed reports on if Ray will still play in the NFL, but if he is convicted he will likely face a fine or suspension.

Messy...

REALITY TV PREVIEWS: The TEARFUL Moment Mimi Faust & Nikko London "DISCOVERED" Their Sex Tape LEAKED!!!

 photo fdfldfkfd.png

In a scene ripped from the season premiere of LAHH ATL, Nikko London breaks some bad news to girlfriend Mimi Faust....their sex taped leaked!  Watch the tears flow inside....

 

 

NO SHADE.....we all believe Mimi Faust and Nikko London wanted the world to see their shower rod antics, but on the season premiere of LAHH ATL (Monday 8/7c on VH1) they'll have you believe that this was all a big accident (yikes!), Nikko's camera was stolen (omg!), and the tape was NEVER meant to go public (gagging!). And by the way....Mimi cries REAL tears! SMH.....

In addition to the trailer, VH1's latest press release details all of the storylines we will see unfold this season:

Stevie J. and Joseline Hernandez are living in wedded bliss – a pill that many in Atlanta find hard to swallow. Though Joseline couldn’t care less about the opinions of her ‘haters,’ will this feisty starlet be able prove naysayers wrong with an extravagant (and public) ceremony worthy of her title as the “Puerto Rican Princess?”

Mimi Faust is dealing with a scandal of her own when a sex tape “mysteriously” leaks starring her and boyfriend Nikko – a man her closest confidants don’t trust. Although she stands to gain notoriety and fortune, the mother of one must determine if the reward outweighs the repercussions that could potentially destroy her friendships and family.

Over in the “palace,” Lil Scrappy is dealing with life after rehab. Post-Erica, Scrappy has gotten close with rapper Bambi, but true to form, he’s still out playing the field and Momma Dee has no issues playing referee.

Erica Dixon has left the drama of her on-again/off-again romance with Scrappy behind and is instead focusing on new endeavors, her up-and-coming fashion line and the possibility of finding love again.

The rollercoaster that is Kirk and Rasheeda’s marriage continues to spin out of control as the family’s newest addition, Karter, raises questions that threaten the peace and harmony of their household.

Meanwhile, Benzino has abandoned the hot tubs and numerous vixens now that he’s found his match in fiancée Althea, a woman whose past may threaten their future together.

Karlie Redd no longer mourns her breakup with Benzino and has moved on with Yung Joc (“It’s Goin’ Down”), a hit maker who just might have the connections she needs to finally break into the music industry. But will jealousy between the two destroy the beautiful music they make together?

Newcomers Waka Flocka Flame (“No Hands”) and fiancé Tammy Rivera have been through a series of ups and downs over the course of their three year courtship, but now the time is right for the pair to take the next step together while still pursuing their own personal endeavors.

This season will also introduce singer/songwriter Kalenna Harper, one-third of Diddy-Dirty Money, who has moved to Atlanta with husband Tony aka “T.Vick” in a last attempt to re-launch her solo career.

LAHH ATL returns Monday, May 5 at 8 PM ET/PT on VH1.

 

RUMOR CONTROL: Jada Pinkett Smith & Carol’s Daughter Creator Lisa Price RESPOND To Bankruptcy Reports

Last week, there were reports that haircare product line Carol’s Daughter had filed bankruptcy and closed several stores. Find out what Carol’s Daughter investor Jada Pinkett Smith and Carol’s Daughter creator Lisa Price had to say about the future of the company inside…

Natural haircare product line Carol’s Daughter has had much success in the recent years with backing from celebs such as Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith, Mary J. Blige and others. But a recent report revealed the company allegedly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and was forced to close five or their seven store locations.

NOW…Jada Pinkett Smith and Carol’s Daughter creator Lisa Price are speaking out against those reports revealing Carol’s Daughter is still going strong and isn't going anywhere.

Jada took to her official Facebook page and had this to say (along with the picture above):

I know you all often see my hair in various ways, but what you see in these pics is MY natural hair. I've taken care of this mane with CAROL'S DAUGHTER products for over 15 years, specifically...Lisa's Hair Elixir. With that said, Carol’s Daughter is still going strong, despite some misleading press, so much so you can now find it in Target, on HSN, Ulta and Sephora inside JCPenny.
My hair would like to say thank you to Lisa Price of Carol's Daughter for making products that actually nourish the scalp and hair;)

J
 

All that hair!

 photo cdj.jpg

The founder of Carol’s Daughter (seen above with Jada) issued her own statement via her Facebook, responding to bankruptcy reports saying:

 photo cd2.jpg

“For you,

I know you have read the misleading news that has been circulated around the internet during the past week because I have heard from so many of you. Thank you all for your support and concern.

It is important to set the record straight. Carol’s Daughter is still going strong after twenty-one years and the future has never looked brighter. As part of our increased focus on new retail channels, we have decided to close five of our stores. This was portrayed as if we are having some challenges, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Initially, I felt it was inappropriate to toot my own horn, if you will, in the midst of some of our stores closing and the day-to-day work that must be done to continue to ensure our success. However, in this day and age of information speeding ahead of us and becoming fact before it has been verified, fact checked or vetted I fear that inaccurate perception will become my company’s reality in the minds of those I hold so dear, you. My friends, supporters, cheerleaders, fans and second family.

From the days when some of you rang my doorbell looking for Healthy Hair Butter to the day my website crashed because of my first national TV appearance you have always been there for me and you are who I care about. Because of your dedication over the past twenty-one years, I have been able to do amazing things. The nationwide Target launch this past March is an opportunity that very few companies receive. I am proud of that. I am also proud and blessed to have valuable partners, like HSN, Ulta and Sephora inside JC Penney. These partnerships have enabled me to distribute Carol’s Daughter in over 2,500 stores and on direct TV which is far beyond the reach of my living room in Brooklyn.

I am going to live through this bad headline knowing that our brand is as strong as ever…and right now I have to get back to work.”

Gabrielle Union Talks D. Wade’s “GROOMZILLA” Ways & The Family She Didn’t Plan But Can’t Live Without In VEGAS Magazine + Shantel Jackson Fires Back At Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Gabrielle Union is looking gorgeous on the cover of the 11th Anniversary issue of VEGAS Magazine. Plus, Shantel Jackson has responded to Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s most recent IG antics. Check the spread and find out what Miss Jackson said inside…

“Being Mary Jane” and Think Like A Man actress Gabrielle Union is gracing the cover of the May/June 2014 anniversary issue of VEGAS Magazine.

Gabby opened up in a candid interview with the magazine revealing wedding deets for her upcoming nuptials to fiancé Dwyane Wade, how she felt isolated growing up, she opened up about taking pride in other people’s pain and loving the family she didn’t plan but couldn’t go a day without.

Here are the highlights:

On Dwyane Wade being a “groomzilla”:
"Well, it will be smaller than the one in the movie, but it’s definitely not toned down, per the wishes of my groomzilla. D’s very involved in every detail. My dude is having a princess moment. Me? I did the wine tasting, and I’ve said yes to the dress. In fact, I’ve said yes to a few of them. That’s the joy of getting married to a man who loves

On feeling isolated growing up:
“My dad told me, ‘You gotta be bigger and badder and better than the next woman, just to be considered even.’” As one of just a handful of African American girls at her high school in Pleasanton, California, she grew up feeling isolated. “I felt like I had to become a chameleon,” she says, acting one way with her white friends and another for people in her community. “Even as a popular girl, I was always looking through the window and very afraid of being exposed. I just wanted to assimilate and fit in.”

On being a mean-girl:
“We live in a town that rewards pretending,” Union said. “I used to revel in gossip and rumors. I lived for the negativity inflicted upon my sister actresses, or anyone whose shine I felt diminished my own. I took joy in people’s pain, and I tap-danced on their misery.”

On her blended family:
“We were at the construction site in Miami where we’re building our dream home—aka the money pit,” she says. “I was wearing my Prada combat boots, no makeup, and D had a videographer recording the whole thing. I went from no kids to D getting full custody, and the next day we had a full house. So it was instant. Our lives never skipped a beat. When you’re someone who goes from never having thought about birthing her own babies to a ready-made family that has immediate needs and wants and desires, your life takes a back burner. If I were lucky enough to have one come out of my body, then great, I’d be totally open to that. But D’s kids are more than just part of the wedding. They are part of my life. They’re a package deal.”

On her life being a process:
“Still, I make mistakes,” she admits. “And my life is in process. But I know certain things. I feel a responsibility to the people I work with. So I don’t do late. I don’t do bad attitude. I don’t do ‘Those eggs aren’t right.’ You don’t fall out. Come prepared. You be a decent human being. And it’s like Will Smith told me: ‘Family first.’ Nothing comes before family."

After Floyd Mayweather but his ex-fiancee Shantel Jackson on FULL blast earlier today, Miss Jackson is finally responding.

Floyd took to his Facebook this morning and revealed a shocking revelation on why he broke up with his ex. He claims they headed down splitsville lane after she aborted their twins, posting a picture of the unborn babies’ sonogram.

To make matters worse, he then took to his Instagram account throwing jabs at Shantel for “Throw Back Thursday” posting pictures of her pre-plastic surgery that he allegedly paid for.

Now Miss Jackson has responded. She posted:

Looking sad and depressed, Chris Brown was denied bail and sent back to jail yesterday while he awaits a new hearing regarding his recent parole violation. More inside....

Chris Brown appeared in an LA courtroom yesterday where a judge decided to keep him in jail until a deal is struck over his parole violation.  You'll recall that a judge tossed Chris in jail after he managed to get booted from rehab (The courts considered the "rehab dismissal" a violation of his parole stemming from the Rihanna beating).  

But the LA case isn't the only legal issue on Chris' plate.  Don't forget that he's still facing trial in DC over an alleged assault outside the W Hotel  involving his bodyguard (whom the courts found guilty!) .  SMH.....things are not looking bright for young Breezy.

Chris has already spent seven weeks behind bars and is expected back in court on May 9th where he'll learn his fate regarding the parole violation...he's facing four years!

"Make It Home" crooner August Alsina open up in ROLLING OUT about leaving the street life,  how crack cocaine impacted his family and his trust issues.  See the highlights inside and get a sneak peek at Prince's upcoming ESSENCE cover. 

  photo RO-AUGUST-5-650x502.jpg

On the heels of his in-depth interview with TheYBF.com, August Alsina shares his Testimony in the latest issue of ROLLING OUT where he reveals the impact his stepfather's crack addiction had on his family and discusses why he can't trust women.  Here are the highlights:

On stepping away from the street life:

I remember giving this girl a crack rock,” Alsina said during our interview. “She wanted to try it before she bought more. I gave her a piece of rock and she smoked it in the pipe right in front of me. To see her smoke crack in front of me messed me up. Because it was the same drug that messed up my life and my family’s life. My stepdad was on crack. My real father was addicted and he died. That day, I realized my heart was too big to continue selling drugs. I didn’t want to be a part in the destruction of someone else’s family.”


On R&B:

“It’s a new day and age and you have to adapt,” Alsina says. “It’s about growing and adapting. I’m a fan of what R&B used to be. I’m not a rapper. I stay in my lane. With today’s R&B, a lot of people can get confused. If you don’t have a vision for yourself, someone will have a vision for you. People want something fresh and new. As long as I relate to the ones that are down, I’m good. There are more people who are poor than rich. I want to make music to lift the people.”

On Relationships:

I have trust issues,” Alsina reveals. “You don’t know, because girls play games sometimes. I was in a store once and some girls were in there asking if they could take a picture with me. One girl asked if I was a basketball player. I told her I wasn’t. When I went to the counter, the clerk told methat the girl knew who I was and [that] she told everyone about me before I walked into the store. Now that I know you’re a liar, I really can’t get down with you. I just grind. I’m robbed of actually being able to make a friend or actually see if a girl really likes me for who I am, because you never know what their motives are. Since I don’t have time to figure it out, I don’t pay attention to it.  “I’m at a place where I don’t trust many people. I’ve seen some crazy stuff. If I had a camera to show you the things some girls do, you’d understand why I’m cool on that right now.”

After dating for all of two minutes, Brandon Jennings is speaking out to let everyone know that his love for Tae Heckard is the real deal. And every relationship before that didn’t count. So…being (allegedly) engaged to Teyana Taylor meant nothing? Tey def had someting to say about it.  Deets inside…

Detroit Pistons baller Brandon Jennings took to his Twitter yesterday to declare his love for his girlfriend (or possible fiancée) Tae Heckard and announced every relationship before that basically meant nothing. Shots fired!

Brandon and Teyana Taylor (above) were in a previous relationship a few years ago.  According to rumors, Teyana believe he dumped her because she wasn’t trying to give up the goods (you know, she claims--at least a few years ago--that she’s a virgin). There were also unconfirmed rumors that the two had gotten engaged but neither of them confirmed or denied those rumors.

Now the NBA baller is clearing the air, letting the world know that his current relationship with Tae is his first “REAL” public relationship...and that she makes him happy.

Here are the receipts:

Talk show host Arsenio Hall has added himself to the list of potential owners vying for the LA Clippers....no...seriously!  Find out how you can help Arsenio buy the LA Clippers inside...

Move over Oprah and Magic Johnson.  Arsenio Hall wants to play in the big leagues too.  The funnyman and "Celebrity Apprentice" winner announced plans to buy the LA Clippers...once he raises the money.

Arsenio said, “I’m Arsenio Hall, and I’m going to buy the Los Angeles Clippers…The Clippers deserve a better owner. They deserve an owner who will represent everybody. There’s only one little problem… I ain’t got one billion dollars.”
 

He's so serious that he went and made a #hashtag!  And guess what....he's got money in the bank. Exactly $1,600.  Thanks to Katt Williams.

Watch Arsenio get his first donation:

 

WILL YOU JOIN THE MOVEMENT?

 

The Randomness:

1.  So...Donald Sterling only gave $5000 to the NAACP in 2010 and some b-ball game tix to ome inner city kids...and nothing else after that.  Yet, he still was up for a Lifetime Achievement Award?  No wonder NAACP's LA Branch President Leon Jenkins resigned!  STORY

2. Floyd Mayweather and Justin Bieber have a pre-fight spa day...and Instagram it.  Justin will be walking out with Floyd at tomorrow's night's match up...again.

Also, Supperclub L.A. has issued a statement regarding the standoff between the LAPD and rappers T.I.& The Game. More inside…

 

Recent questionable reports made claims that the reason Robin Thicke and his estranged wife Paula Patton had called it quits was because Paula allegedly caught Robin in the act with their masseuse named Jasmine.

It was reported Robin & Paula were involved in a consensual relationship with their masseuse and participated in threesomes. The report made claims that Paula allegedly walked in on Robin & Jasmine and that’s what led to their decision to end their almost 10-year marriage.

We held off on posting because the story just seemed a bit off and we needed more receipts.

But now, the R&B singer is fighting back threatening to slap the media outlets who ran the story with a lawsuit for defamation. Robin’s lawyer Howard E. Kingfired off a warning to the media outlets in question of possible legal action for punitive damages and vehemently denied any truth to the story.

The statement read:

“On behalf of Mr. Thicke, as well as [the alleged masseuse], we categorically deny every assertion of fact posited in your email [asking for comment] and are certain there can be no reliable, trustworthy source of any such story, given its gross deviation from the truth. Any purported source of such a story is lying.”

“Publication of this blatantly false story absent a failure to fully investigate the truth combined with reliance on what has to be a flimsy source, will support a finding that the story is published in wanton and reckless disregard of the truth, leading to a finding of malice and the imposition of actual and punitive damages.”

 

You’ll recall Robin & Paula headed down Splitsville Lane earlier this year, issuing a statement that the two had decided to mutually separate. Soon after, Robin tried his damnedest to swoon Paula in an attempt to get her back, dedicating love songs to her during shows while on tour.

Robin’s serenading could have possibly worked because according to friends of the couple, Paula is open to giving Robin another chance.

We shall see…

Meanwhile...

In the aftermath of an intensified standoff outside Supperclub L.A. between T.I.& The Game against the LAPD (which was caught on tape), the Hollywood hot spot has issued a statement regarding the incident.

You’ll recall T.I. & The Game were involved in a nasty verbal confrontation with the LAPD after members of their entourages were denied entry into the club. Things got physical between the denied club goers and the club’s security, which lead to the cops being called.

Supperclub L.A. has issued a statement on the incident saying:

The events that happened in the parking lot behind Supperclub Los Angeles in the early hours of Wednesday morning are severely disheartening, leaving our company and organization frustrated, and our Hollywood neighbors saddened.

An unfortunate escalation between an angry on-¬‐looker who was denied entry to Supperclub, and a rogue security officer who took matters too far, led to an untenable altercation which represented the worst in all of us.

Although T.I. and The Game were in the parking lot during this time, they were not directly involved with this incident. Community leader “Big U”, of Developing Options, was in fact, not arrested, contrary to false reports, and had no part in this altercation. The third party security company that was hired for this outside promotional event, is not a part of Supperclub Los Angeles, and will never be booked by Supperclub, or the venue’s outside promotional vendors again.

The owners, management and family of Supperclub vehemently condemn this act, and any act of violence, as it directly contradicts its core philosophies of celebration of the arts, food and culture.

 

Although T.I.’s probation ended in 2012, he surely doesn’t need to get into any more trouble.

More bad news for Naya Rivera - she's been dropped from her record label.  Get the deets inside and find out about Donald Sterling's possible NBA lawsuit.

 

Naya Rivera has obviously hit a bump in the road.  Her engagement to rapper Big Sean is off, she was possiblyfired off Glee and now she's been dropped by Columbia Records.  Earlier, Billboard Magazine confirmed reports that Naya is no longer on the Columbia Records roster.  Meanwhile, Naya's Instagram account continues to document her weird Kim Kardashian-like transistion. The Kim-styled selfies are getting redundant! 

SMH....good luck Naya. 

 

In sports.....

An article published by the New York Daily News reports Donald Sterling plans to sue the NBA to stop the sale of the LA Clippers.  An NBA executive with close ties to Don said, “He is not going to sell the team. He'll sue and it'll take years to settle.” How might this happen? The exec explained that Don may sue the NBA and base his case on language in the NBA constitution that deals with conduct that constitutes “willful acts.” The term can be difficult to interpret and enforce and may takes years of legal wrangling.

On the flip side, Arsenio Hall would have more time to raise enough money to make a bid for the team.

Kerry Washington and her hubby Nnamdi Asomugha secretly had their baby…two weeks ago. And it’s a girl! Read the deets inside…

“Scandal” star Kerry Washington and her retired NFL husband Nnamdi Asomugha are clearly dedicated to keeping their personal life private because they welcomed their new baby into the world and no one suspected a thing.

According to TMZ, Kerry gave birth to their daughter under the radar, welcoming their bundle of joy named Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha…two weeks ago. Isabelle was reportedly born on April 21st at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. This is the couple’s first child.
 
Kerry & Nnamdi are known for keeping their personal life really private and out of the limelight. They quietly got married in Idaho last June without anyone knowing and Kerry also tried to keep her pregnancy a secret for as long as she could (although we spotted that baby bump 2 months before the official announcement). And they’ve only been spotted in pictures together on very few occasions (the first posted pic together at the Vanity Fair Oscar party above). It seems to be working for them.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Nelly's got jokes, swag and a lot of confidence.  He challenged Floyd Mayweather over Instagram about being in his "feeling"s and posted a hilarious message to all the men around the world who find him intimidating. Read it inside and hear Floyd's defense for exposing Shantel's abortion.

 

Instead of being completely zoned into his fight tomorrow, Floyd Mayweather has been up in his feelings ever since his ex-fiancee Shantel Jackson posted pics with rapper Nelly. 

This DID NOT escape Nelly's attention and he delivered a heap of shade in two INSTAGRAM posts aimed at Floyd.  In the first post, he says he and Floyd have never been friends so he's confused about Floyd feeling some kind of way about Shantel.  Then, he throws in a little jab and reveals that Floyd personally flew Ashanti out to Michigan (and didn't invite him!). 

 photo khoi98989.png

The next post was also aimed at Floyd, taunting the boxer's insecurities.  Nelly also "apologizes" to all of the men who feel intimidated by him.

CLASSIC SHADE.

 

Meanwhile....Floyd is STILL talking trash about Shantel....

 photo djddfre3ffkr.png

He spoke to Big Tigger on V103 where he explained that Shantel is selfish and insecure.  He also said Shantel told him she had a miscarriage but he found out from a member of his reality tv film crew that she'd actually had an abortion! MESSY.  He added that she didn't want to have a baby and  mess up her body (the one he paid for). SHADE.

Kevin Hart and Mike Epps are going IN on one another on Twitter after Mike called Kevin overrated. Meanwhile, Keyshawn Johnson has avoided jail time after allegedly striking his girlfriend. Deets inside…

Comedians Kevin Hart and Mike Epps are BLASTING each other on Twitter after Mike called Kevin overrated during an interview this morning. This isn’t the first time these two have gotten into a Twitter spat. Last year, Mike got at Kevin and then the Laugh At My Pain comedian unloaded a slew of tweets firing back at Mike.

Earlier today, Mike called into K104’s Dede in the Morning Show and when he was asked to name one overrated comedian, Mike chose Kevin Hart. He said, “In this business right here, sometimes marketing can be bigger than talent. This business is not about being funny.”

Kevin got wind of Mike’s recent comments and went…IN!

Check the tweets (read from the bottom up):

Damn Kev!

Former NFL baller Keyshawn Johnson can thank his lucky stars after his domestic violence case was rejected.

Last month, Keyshawn was arrested after a dispute between him and his ex-girlfriend turned physical in Calabasas, CA.

Law enforcement said Keyshawn smashed his ex's phone and caused a gash on her hand. Keyshawn was arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery after the alleged assault and released after he posted bail for 20K.

After his case was rejected, Keyshawn issued a statement saying,

"I am pleased that law enforcement acted quickly and that this matter has been fairly resolved."

"The quick decision results from the fact that I should not have been arrested because no crime was committed. I did not and would not touch, grab or strike a woman -- any woman."

"Though Jennifer and I are both pleased that this matter is over, we very much resent the fact that I was ever arrested in the first place. I apologize to my friends, family, fans and colleagues for this matter."

We guess...

As The Carters gear up for their “On The Run” tour, Beyonce and Jay Z made their way to the Barclays Center to cheer on the Brooklyn Nets as they defeated the Toronto Raptors 97-83 last night.

Sitting next to the Nets bench, The Carters were spotted all smiles as they watched Game 6 of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Bey was casually cute in a black leather jacket, jeans and nude sandals while Jay was swagged out in a Sportiqe Brooklyn Nets nautical butler sweatshirt, distressed denim and a pair of Timbs.

Drake was also spotted courtside getting extra emotional as he cheered on his beloved Raptors.

Drizzy still hasn’t responded to Jay’s latest diss about the YMCMB rapper being soft as a lacrosse team. But the Nets poked fun at Drake during the game, dressing him in a computerized Nets jersey displayed on the Jumbotron as Jay’s “PSA” played in the background.

Ha!

And rapper Fabolous was also in attendance as he introduced the Brooklyn Nets starting line-up:

Donald Sterling's "Silly Rabbit" Says He's Not A Racist, But Should Apologize + Donald Regrets Not Paying V. Stiviano Off

V. Stiviano appeared on 20/20 last night where she told Barbara Walters that Donald Sterling is not a racist but he should apologize.  Watch the clip inside and read about Donald's regrets.


 

V. Stiviano (who's been dreaming of this moment all of her life) appeared on 20/20 last night where she was interview by Barbara Walters.  Now that all of Donald Sterling's dirty laundry has been aired, V. has her own thoughts about his next steps and what should happen to him.  Here are the highlights:

Should he apologize: 

"Yes. Absolutely. I think he’s highly more traumatized and hurt by the things that he said himself. I think he can’t even believe or understand sometimes the thing he says, and I think he’s hurt by it. He’s hurting right now."

Does Donald speak negatively about minorities: 

“There’s been a number of occasions where Mr. Sterling and I had conversations just like this one. This was one of very many. Part of what the world heard was only 15 minutes. There’s a number of other hours that the world doesn’t know.”

Is Donald a racist:

“I think Mr. Sterling is from a different generation than I am. I think he was brought up to believe these things … segregation, whites and blacks,” Stiviano said. “But through his actions he’s shown that he’s not a racist. He’s shown to be a very generous and kind man.”

SIDEBAR:  V. Stiviano told Barbabra Walters she calls herself Don's "silly rabbit." 

Donald Sterling admits his regrets....

 photo ap_clippers_sterling_basketball_63896084.jpg

Amid his lifetime ban from the NBA, Donald Sterling spoke to DuJour Magazine about the "tapes" and V. Stiviano saying, "I wish I had just paid her off.” For now...that's all we'll get from Don who told DuJour that he's limiting himself to interviews with the NBA and Barbara Walters.
