Radio/tv/film star Rickey Smiley covers the June/July 2014 issue of UPTOWN Magazine where he opens up about fatherhood, building his brand and preparing for the next phase of his career.  More inside.... 

Rickey throws up the "hooks" in honor of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. on his dapper cover.  This guy has changed a lot over the years...in a very good way.

The June/July 2014 issue of UPTOWN features an in-depth profile of comedian Rickey Smiley, host of "The Rickey Smiley Morning Show" (reaching 10 million people daily), "The Rickey Smiley Show" (his popular sitcom on TVOne), and "Dish Nation" (the highly-rated, national nightly pop culture roundup on FOX-TV). 

Inside, he opens up about his struggles, his rise to stardom, the loves of his life and his road to becoming a media mogul. Here are the highlights:

On his career thus far: "I’ve just had some great and wonderful opportunities but my opportunities now are just going through the roof. I have a diction coach now. I’ve been practicing. I read the teleprompter every day so I’m prepared."

On today's comedy: "It’s not about telling jokes anymore. You have to be a great storyteller. You got to bring people into your neighborhood. You got to be animated and years of experience [will] get you into that space and you just crack people up. And don’t take yourself so serious. That’s what brought on my success.”

On building his brand: "I am excited about building the Rickey Smiley brand. I love having a sitcom and working on the set all day. I love having a syndicated radio show, getting up every morning and making people laugh all over the country and then taping Dish Nation. It’s hard work and that’s what it takes to get to the top and we’re on our way."

On his Lil Darryl routine: "Lil Darryl changed my life. It changed everybody’s life. That year every [fraternity and sorority], whoever had a line that year and the year after that and the year after that, somebody on line was named Lil Darryl. Even my Lil Darryl First 48 probably got a million hits on YouTube. Lil Darryl got a vine video that’s hilarious. I got kids that love Lil Darryl that were not even born when I first did it. Lil Darryl has been reborn."

On being Steve Harvey's protege: "Steve Harvey put me on. He came to Birmingham and decided he was going to work with me. I was blessed to open up for his [tour] The Kings of Comedy a few times. I would have to be in the hotel lobby early to ride in the limousine with Steve and I was a nervous wreck."

On being a father: "I enjoy being the best father I can be and being an awesome father to the fatherless. My dad was murdered and taken away from me when I was 7 so I know what it’s like growing up without a dad. To be able to fill that void for somebody else is just incredible. I would actually pay money to do it."

50 said, “It’s better to be overrated than underpaid.”

Good point.

He also explained what it was like to be yelled at by Beyonce. Remember when he revealed Bey once confronted him about having a beef with Jay?

Well, he said her breath doesn’t smell and when it happened…he just accepted it because he didn’t want to do anything back with all of the paparazzi around.

Has he ever slept with Kim Kardashian? 50 says no. He also said they never dated…just took pictures together in Australia at the MTV Awards.

He also called his rumored ex-girl Chelsea Handler…”gator. “ Well alright.

We've got Common's latest video, "Kingdom" featuring Vince Staples.  Watch it inside and find out who's been added to the growing list of performers at the 2014 BET Awards. 

In the Hype Williams-directed clip "Kingdom", Common sheds light on the dark and gritty streets of Chicago with XXL Freshman class rapper Vince Staples.  The song was produced by No I.D. and appears on Common’s 10th album Nobody’s Smiling (July 22nd).  Common discussed the video treatment for the 8-minute clip with MTV:

“Nobody’s Smiling was really a thought that came about because of all the violence that was going on in Chicago. It happens in Chicago, but it’s happening around the world in many ways. It may not be to the numbers that’s happening in Chicago, but it’s happening in the inner-cities all over America. It’s really a call to action.”

Then this morning the “I Luh Ya Papi” singer trekked it to Power 105’s The Breakfast Club to talk about why she decided to do music again, her television network NuvoTV and why she thinks she intimidates men. Here are the highlights:

On why she decided to come back and do music:
She said she’s back to do music because I love it. “I just can’t stay away from it. Even when I’m not putting records out, I’m making music.”

On her new television network NuvoTV:

“NUVO is a network that is geared toward the modern Latino. Which is…not Spanish speaking. Yes, we are in touch with our culture. Yes, we do speak Spanish but we also speak English. We grew up here. And there’s no real programming or anything on TV that’s really geared toward that even though it’s a huge demographic.”

On why she thinks she intimidates men:
She said she thinks it can be overwhelming being in a relationship with her. She said it takes a very strong and self-aware man to be with her and he has to be ok with standing on the sideline sometimes.

On who’s her favorite rapper for all time:
Nas

On how she stays in shape:
She credits dancing and working out a lot as to how she keeps her banging bod.

On performing in her hometown:
Jenny said there aren’t a lot of venues in the Bronx and that’s why she hadn’t performed there. She said Yankee stadium is huge so she wasn’t sure if she could sell it out.

On if she has sex toys:
She said she had some before but doesn’t currently have any.

On working with Chris Brown:
She said it was great. They worked in the studio together on the track. She said she loves the songs he wrote on her album. He wrote “Same Girl,” “Booty,” and “Emotions.”
 

On her kids Max & Emme:
She said her children have a very active life. She said she has security for them and they have a nanny that takes them to museums and things like that.

J. Lo said her children started school this year and have a pretty full life. They’re smart, beautiful and loving…everything a parent could ask for. Aww…

Will she be returning as a judge on “American Idol?” She’s not sure yet. With her new album, touring and other projects she has to figure out if she can work it in her schedule.

KeKe Palmer, Rachel Roy& Kat Graham kept it fab for Vera Wang's big store opening on Rodeo Drive last night.  Check the pics inside, plus Kanye West chillin' with the fashion honchos in Italy He also has something to say about his Annie Leibowitz statements.....

Fab chick KeKe Palmer hit the Vanity Fair party for Vera Wang's opening of her store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills last night:

She's rocking a printed peplum skit and lace jacket from the Vera Wang Resort '15 collection.  And paired it all with lace up shoes from Schultz and a Swarovski clutch.

Rachel Roy was there to support fellow designer Vera, keeping it low key yet still fab in jeans, a smart metallic trimmed blazer and sandals.

Kat Graham often does the most, but we kinda like it this time. 

Over in Cannes:

Mr. West is on his fashion ish after appearing at the Cannes Lion Conference where he dished up his usual nuggets of quotables.  He jetted over to Florence (where he just visited during his honeymoon) for Pitti Uomo's magical night of Scervino at Fort Belvedere in Florence.

What's Pitti Uomo you ask?  Something Kanye likely drools over every year.  It's a bi-annual tradeshow event that was invented in 1972.   During the four day stint, retailers, buyers, and editors come together to view upcoming collections and art.  So it's like Art Basel meets Fashion Week.

At the week's big charity event last night, Kanye was spotted with Italian actress Asia Argento, designer Ermanno Daelli, Franca Sozzani (EIC of Vogue Italia) and Toni Scervino (founder of Ermanno Scervino Italian fashion brand).

Looks like he was in his zone.  Manwhile, Kanye put out a statement today abotu his comments about Annie Leibovitz during his Cannes Lions Conference chit chat.  He revealed to the audience his frustration that the legendary photographer backed out of snapping his & his wife's wedding the day befoe the wedding.  Now, he's making a clarification, so he says.  It goes as follows:

Kanye West's comments about Annie Leibovitz while speaking at the 2014 Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival have been taken out of context and sensationalized.

Although Kanye expressed frustration that he was not able to collaborate with Annie Leibovitz at his recent wedding, he is not assigning blame, and is not accusing Annie in any way. Kanye and Annie's representatives were in negotiations for weeks that were not completed by the time of the wedding.

"Annie would have been happy to do the portrait but she was never confirmed," said a representative for Leibovitz.

It was Kanye's dream to bring together for the wedding his favorite creatives - Ricardo Tisci on the dress, Vanessa Beecroft on the experience, and Andrea Bocelli - Kim's favorite singer - singing Kim's favorite song as she walked down the aisle. The first choice to capture one of the most special days in Kim and Kanye's life: Annie Leibowitz.

Annie Leibovitz - the legendary photographer responsible for Kim and Kanye's recent Vogue cover - is not known to shoot weddings. But Kanye West dreams big. He loves and respects Annie as a true artist and wanted to bring her eye for beauty to the imagery of the event. In his Cannes Lions panel with Steve Stoute and tech guru godfather Ben Horowitz, Kanye was referencing Annie as an example of how to merge culture and tech.

"Picture this," said Kanye. "The most-liked Instagram photo of all time, shot by Annie Leibowitz. Oh, I'm sorry for dreaming out loud. Again."

It's the very first look at Kelly Rowland's burgeoning baby bump!  Check out how the singer showed the world that baby belly inside..

After revealing her pregnancy on Instagram recently, Kelly Rowland is already doing a little pre-natal yoga.  And she's giving us a peek at her baby belly while she was in the middle of her meditation.

We wouldn't be surprised if these "Ommmmmm"'s turn into a pregnancy workout video.  Kelly's already got a few workout DVDs under her belt with good friend and celebrity trainer Jeanette Jenkins, so will keeping that baby belly and pregnancy body in shape her next project?  Hmmm....

In other music news.....

Will 2014 be the year D'Angelo makes his official comeback?  It seems like it.  D'angelo's manager Kevin Liles, who recently revealed that he and wife Erika are expecting their second child, told Billboard that we should expect something this year.  

He said, 

""Here's the thing: with D'Angelo it was a process. He didn't perform for 10 years and he's been working on an album for the past 12 years. I actually got him to go out and do 30 shows [in 2011-2012], and then we did some 'Brothers in Arms' shows. I said, 'We have to get motivated around what people want to hear from you, and what does it mean to come back to that space?' He very bluntly put it, 'Kev, the studio and the stage: that's my lifeblood. Now that I've touched it again, now that I see it again, I wanna be sure that the baby I'm about to have -- the album -- that I take it to the point where it's all it can be.'

"There'll be an album this year: there's 14 records so far, we might have a couple of bonus records, but all the recording is basically done and we're mixing and mastering now. Definitely, he'll be back.

"We'll probably start an international tour in October, we'll come back [to the States]. We're doing a James Brown tribute in August [at the Hollywood Bowl] and some one-off things. But the touring will probably start in October and 2015."

Hmmmm.....a new album and tour in 2014?  How will it sound?  Kevin added,

"To limit it to soul is not the case, because there is a rock influence. But at the same time, it's very melodic and there's an influence of all the things he loves: there's James Brown, there's Prince, and everything people grew up loving D'Angelo for, from 'Brown Sugar' to 'Voodoo.' It's a mixture and an evolution of where he is right now. And you have to think that when you have the opportunity to work 10 years on an album, that album's truly gonna be what you want it to be. Is it limited to the kind of sound that he did with the earlier records? No, it's not."

Welcome back D'Angelo.  We're here for some renewed sexiness....

Meagan Good is heating up the magazine circuit with her brand new cover for Rolling Out magazine. And she’s dishing on what it’s like to be a Preacher’s wife while being sexy, double standards aimed at black actresses in Hollywood and whether she’ll ever go nude for a movie. All that and more inside….

Meagan Good has been all over lately, hitting up tons of TV shows and movie premieres, promoting the summer flick Think Like A Man Too. And to continue on her media campaign, she landed the cover of the newest issue of Rolling Out magazine.  And she looks HOT.

Rocking a seductive plunging burnt orange gown and vibrant yellow high-split gown, the sultry TLAM2 star discussed how she feels about those who criticize her on her wardrobe as a minister’s wife and how she lives her life to please God and no one else.

She dished on whether or not she’ll ever go completely nude for a movie role, double standards directed at black Hollywood actresses and also what she has learned from being married to her preacher/film executive husband, DeVon Franklin.
 

Here are the highlights:

On being sexy:
“I really don’t think there’s anything wrong with being sexy,” she says matter-of-factly. “God created our bodies as women. He created us to be beautiful, to be sexy, to be powerful, to be fearless — to be amazing. I do respect and understand the fact that when you come into the sanctuary, you need to be dressed appropriately because you are not the star — Jesus is the star. That I agree with 100 percent.” While she understands that dressing appropriately is necessary, Good also wants more people to recognize that “appropriate” is always relative. Especially outside of Sunday morning service.

On “religious” people who criticize her:
“I feel like religion can get very judgmental and a lot of people don’t approach you with love,” she says, pausing thoughtfully. “I try to be conscious of the responsibility I have as a Christian, but if I did everything everyone told me to do or tried to please everyone, I couldn’t have my hair a particular way, I couldn’t wear certain clothes, I couldn’t play certain characters, I can’t hang out with certain people, can’t wear a certain amount of makeup — and you can’t let people run your life. You have to look to God. People will fall in line.”

On getting nude for a movie role:
“I have no problem with nudity — it just has to not be exploitative and it has to be important to tell the story,” she explains. “It depends on the script, the character, the story, the tone of the movie — all of those things. I commend women of every nationality that are bold enough to tell a story in a way that’s fearless. I just haven’t found a project where I felt it was necessary to do that. The scenes I’ve come across seemed exploitative and I just didn’t do it.

On there being a double standard between white and black actresses in Hollywood:
“If Angelina Jolie goes topless, everyone goes ‘Wow, she’s so badass, so committed to her craft,’ ” Good says. “But if Halle Berry goes topless, everyone’s like ‘She’s a slut. She probably took a bunch of money to do that.’ People attack her with unsavory names. And it’s unfortunate. Halle is one my favorite actresses — I’ve looked up to her since I began this journey. There’s definitely a double standard but I can’t put my finger on exactly why that is. If someone is telling a story, they should go to whatever extent that they’re comfortable with to tell the story. Whatever they feel is necessary.”

On what being married to her husband DeVon Franklin has taught her:
“Marriage has taught me that it’s OK to let somebody take care of me. That it’s OK to depend on somebody,” Good says. “I grew up being responsible for a lot of things — since I was 15 [I was] taking care of a lot of people. My father is amazing, but he wasn’t in the home, so my mother raised us with the mentality of not needing anybody. We were never the girls that went after the guy that had the money because we were taught to have our own money. I’ve always been extremely independent to the point where it probably intimidated some guys. Now, it’s nice to just feel like it’s not a bad thing to trust someone to have your best interest at heart.

Must be nice to be North West.  The 1-year-old already has her own festival--Kidchella!  Deets inside on North's first birthday party....

All that never-ending promo paid off.  Because Think Like A Man Too just topped the box office weekend.  The flick nabbed the #1 spot AND raked in $30 million.  Deets inside...

If you have yet to catch Think Like A Man too, do yourself a favor and go catch that ish.  Rom-com junkies like us won't be disappointed.  And it seems plenty of folks spent their hard earned cash this weekend just to get their fix.

Forbesreports that director Tim Story's newest flick and producer Will Packer's third box office hit in a row (yup, THIRD), just this year, took the #1 spot this weekend.  Much like Will's previously flicks this year (Ride Along doing over $41 million opening weekend and About Last Night doing $26.5 mill), TLAM2 raked in a good chunk of change.  Looks like the painfully under-served YBF crowd is making strides.

Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Taraji P. Henson, Terrence J, Regina Hall, Meagan Good and the rest of the cast edged out 22 Jump Street ($29 mill for their second week) for the top spot.  And though the movie saw a $30 million opening weekend, its predecessor, Think Like A Man, did $33 mill back in 2012.

Still, it's all good news for Kevin and co., who hit "106 & Park" on Friday with the entire cast:

That damn Gary Owen....hilar.

So, did you see the movie this weekend?  Thoughts?

BONUS: Kevin Hart has zero chill when it comes to rolling out these flicks.  His new one,The Wedding Ringer, comes out January 2015.  Check out the trailer below:

Whoa.  Keyshia Cole is bringing the heat in an entirely different way this go round.  Check out her new single "She" inside, and find out what's on her mind as she lusts after another woman...

Keyshia Cole may be going through a divorce with husband Daniel Gibson, but her sex drive is still firmly in place.  The R&B chick just dropped her new record entitled "She", which serves as an official single off her upcoming Point of No Return album.  And it's worth a listen.

On the DJ Mustard-produced track, the "Rick James" singer recounts a story over an EDM-meets-R&B beat about eying another woman and dreaming up (or actually performing) some sexual fantasies.

Peep these lyrics about Keyshia "getting high off her own supply":

Down to try something different
Lips and legs, soft skin so feminine
Curves like me, covered in my cherry scent

.....

Them boys loves some you

But I aint mad 'cause you look good on me too

She look good to me too.

....

When I'm high off of you...

I...

Oh you do me like I'm your drug

You're like poison on the tip of my tongue

When I'm high off of you...

Keyshia's Point of No Return album, which will feature Mike.Will.Made.It, 2 Chainz, Wale, Juicy J, R.Kelly and more, drops this summer.  And she's already got a tour lined up of the same name, kicking off July 12th in Rochester.

You feelin' "She"?

In case you missed it, news broke over the weekend that Christina Milian and her fiance Jas Prince have split.  And now, she's spending her time finding solace...in the club.  And with her daughter Violet.

Pics and deets inside....

Over the weekend, right after news broke that Christina Milian and Jas Prince called off their engagement, Christina Milian did what many chicks do who are trying to get back their groove: Hit the club scene. 

Karrueche and Christina Milian stepped out to party it up in West Hollywood (above) for the infamous Socialite Sundays party at Socialite House (RAGE Nightclub).

She also posted a pic above with a group of friends, including baller J.R. Smith, at ToXic day party on Saturday.  And it loks like she was having a blast.

Throughout the weekend, Christina posted pics spending time with her baby girl Violet.  And was all smiles. 

She also shared some words of encouragement given to her by her mom:

And she also posted:

"There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. Surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living."

Christina & Jas in happier times:

Us Weekly confirmed that Christina moved out of the home they share in L.A. on Thursday, June 19th.  We guess this will be a story line on her upcoming E! reality show.
