Robin Thicke is still trying his damnedest to get Paula Patton back. And now he’s finally ready to talk about it. Find out what he said about his split with his estranged wife and peep the behind-the-scenes pics of Keyshia Cole and 2 Chainz for her newest video “N*iggas Like You” inside…

After pouring his heart out singing “Forever Love” in yet another attempt to get his estranged wife Paula Patton back at the 2014 BET Awards, Robin Thicke is finally breaking his silence about their shocking uncoupling.

His new album Paula hit stores today and to promote his newest LP, he hit up Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning Show and got very candid about heading down Splitsville lane with the woman he has been with since they were 14-yers-old.

During the interview, the Paula singer revealed he has not seen his wife in four months…yes four! And that’s the reason why he decided to name the album after her.

“She’s the best girl in the world, a great mother and still a good friend. But because we weren’t ever together anymore and I still had so much I wanted to apologize for and things I wanted to take responsibility for so that’s pretty much what the album is about.”
 

The ring he’s wearing on his ring finger nowadays? Nope…it’s not his wedding ring.

He talked about how he and Paula did everything together and built everything they have…together, so it’s hard to leave something so familiar. He admitted that he messed up and he takes full responsibility for his actions but also said,

“We’re apart because we just couldn’t be together anymore. There are a hundred of different reasons, there’s a long list. I changed and I got a little too selfish, a little too greedy, a little too full of myself.”

By the end of the interview, he talked about his 4-year-old son Julian (whom he shares with Paula). He dished on how he would let Julian listen to his songs and he’d say “Daddy, this one is for radio and this one is for the album.” Too cute!

Keyshia Cole is gearing for the release of her new studio album Point Of No Return, which is slated to drop this summer. And in preparation, she is currently working on the visuals for a new track featuring 2 Chainz titled, “N*ggas Like You.”

On the heels of shooting the video for her lesbian-lusting “SHE” track, Keyshia is putting in work for the rest of the visuals to accompany her singles. She tweeted, “@hairweavekiller thank u so much for being apart of this album! Coming thru and also being apart of the visual! [heart emoji] 4 Life."

The “SHE” singer will be taking her talents on the road, kicking off her “Point of No Return” tour on July 20th in Minneapolis. And we can expect appearances from artists such as Wale, Juicy J and August Alsina as well as production from Mike WiLL Made-It, Stargate, Mario Winans, and RedOne on her new LP.

Yesterday's doubles match was a scary situation for Serena Williams.  Details on why her bizarre actions and struggle on the court were all a result of a health issue....

Watching the most powerful tennis champ in the world struggle with bouncing, catching, and serving a ball was scary to see.  Yesterday at Wimbledon, Serena and her sister Venus were taking on Kristina Barrois and Stefanie Voegele when Serena was acting completely unlike herself.

Fifteen minutes prior to the match, news reports state she was teary eyed and had a hard time getting through the warmups.  The court officials went to speak to her while medics took her blood pressure, and she decided to power through.  But it seems her body wasn't having it.

A dazed Serena serving up no fewer than four double faults in the third game of the Round 2 match.  And eventually she had to call it quits.  She was spotted leaving the court in tears.  In a statement yesterday, Serena revealed it was due to a virus:

“I am heartbroken I’m not able to continue in the tournament.  I thought I could rally this morning, because I really wanted to compete. But this bug just got the best of me.’’

“I want to thank my sister, Kristina, Stefanie and our teams for their support.  We were looking forward to a great match. From the bottom of my heart, I thank all of the fans for their cheers and understanding. I look forward to returning to Wimbledon next year.’’

Her sister Venus added, “Unfortunately, Serena has been feeling unwell for the past few days and she just couldn’t play to her potential today. I’m really proud of her trying because we just love playing doubles together.’’

Serena's a Grade A fighter so we know she'll recover and return to the top.  Get well soon 'Rena!

Christina Milian, who recently broke off her engagement with Jas Prince, partied alongside Chris and her bestie Karrueche and other friends.  And no, we're not believing the rumors of a romance brewing between her and her YMCMB boss Lil Wayne....yet.

50 Cent BUYS All The “Trigga” Albums In A Pittsburgh Best Buy + Jennifer Hudson ft. R. Kelly “It’s Your World”+ Young Jeezy Set to Release New Album “Seen It All”

50 Cent and Trey Songz seem to have a budding bromance. Last night, 50 bought every single copy of Trey’s new album “Trigga” in a Pittsburgh Best Buy. Meanwhile, Jennifer Hudson has a new track “It’s Your World” featuring R. Kelly and Young Jeezy is gearing up to release a brand new album and his first single features Jay Z. Deets inside…

After collaborating on 50 Cent’s “Smoke” record, it seems Trey Songz and the G-Unit general (pictured above performing at "GMA") have gotten a lot closer. So much so, 50 made his way to a Best Buy in Pittsburgh and purchased every single copy of Trey’s “Trigga” album that dropped July 1st.

They actually have a lot in common too. You’ll recall 50’s horrific METS game first pitch and it seems his horrible pitching skills rubbed off on Trigga as well. Trey threw a bad first pitch at a Dodgers game recently, barely getting the ball to the catcher. It still wasn’t as bad as 50’s though. Ha!

Check it:

He said, "@treysongz I BROUGHT THE STORE. NO CD's left in best buy,in Pittsburgh tell the label i said reship LMAO"

And in new music....

Jennifer Hudson debuted her new single with R. Kelly at the 2014 BET Awards. And now the full studio version has been released. Check it above.

The Oscar winner is gearing up for the release of her third studio album (which is due this summer) so she also released snippets of two new tracks titled "Dangerous" and "He Ain't Goin' Nowhere." Check them out below:

Also...

 photo afterbet3.jpg

Grammy-nominated rapper Young Jeezy (above at an after party for the BET Awards) is on the come back tip. He’s expected to release his highly-anticipated fifth studio album, Seen It All. And his first single (below) shares the same title as his album, which features rap superstar Jay Z.

You can download “Seen It All” featuring Jay Z via iTunes. After 2.5 years, fans have been patiently waiting for Jeezy’s return and now they can rejoice because his new album drops September 2nd.

And before the album is released, Jeezy will be heading out on tour with Wiz Khalifa, Tyga, Ty Dolla Sign and Rich Homie Quan co-headling the “Under the Influence of Music” 22-city tour in the U.S. and Canada. The tour kicks off July 24th.

Luke James has a new boo...and after they both revealed their new love on their Instagram accounts, they got some love and some hate.  Check the pics inside inside....

"I Want You" singer Luke James is wrapped up in love, and he & his new chick want to share it with their fans. 

She's Canadian Kim Gingras, one of Beyonce's tour dancers from On the Run, Mrs. Carter Show and more.  So since Luke James was often the opening act for Beyonce's tour dates, their jobs are likely where they met and fell and love.

  And just a few days ago she made it clear how she felt about him in a pic of the twosome getting cozy on the beach:

 

 

Soon after, he posted the below:

Looks like it's his boo again in a much more intimate setting.  Followers said:

Followers started to flip the script and cause an uproar about her being--you guessed it--white.

One commenter said, "@wolfjames that's what we are doing now? Ok good to know. "

But he got some love from his "brother" on Kim's page:

Nicki Minaj Back Tracks On Acceptance Speech Shade ALLEGEDLY Toward Iggy Azalea + Iggy Is FED UP With Online Pettiness

Seems like Nicki Minaj is doing a little backtracking…kinda. She is speaking out against rumors that she was taking jabs at Iggy Azalea during her acceptance speech at the 2014 BET Awards. See what YMCMB’s first lady had to say and see what Iggy has to say about it all inside….

During the 2014 BET Awards, Nicki Minaj was crowned the Best Female Hip-Hop Artist for the fifth year in a row. Nice feat…but it was what she said after accepting her award that had many people believing she was shading another female raptress in the category, Iggy Azalea.

After she won the award the “Pills N Potions” rapper said, “What I want the world to know about Nicki Minaj is when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it." Fans starting yelling then she added “Noooo No shade. Noo Noooo no shade,” in one of those I’m-definitely-shading-someone-but-won’t-admit-it voices. Mmhmm...

Now…Nicki is responding to the all of the rumors stemming from her speech and of course, took to her Twitter to set the record straight.

She tweeted:

 

 

  

  

 

 

She then said she has congratulated Iggy publicly and all the women in the category should be proud:

 

The media puts words in my mouth all the time and this is no different. I will always take a stance on women writing b/c I believe in us!

I believe we're smart enough to write down our own thoughts and perspective, just like the men do. I've been saying this for 5 YEARS

I fell in love with Lauryn Hill b/c I knew she was the author behind those amazingly profound and articulated songs on the MisEducation

I wondered how Lauryn tapped into my brain and wrote an album on love, betrayal, passion, pain, triumph, brokenness.... Did she read minds?

It's the same reason I have a different level of respect for Missy. I know she's a writer and a producer. Women MUST aspire for more.

I've congratulated Iggy on the success of Fancy, publicly. She should be very proud of that. All the women nominated should b proud.

That will never change my desire to motivate women to write. Our voices have to be heard. I hope I inspire up & coming females to do that.
 

So...who were you shading Nicki?

And let’s not forget about her near death experience she also shared. She claimed she thought she was dying one night and thought her life was over... but didn’t want to call an ambulance because she didn’t want it blasted on TMZ.  Alrighty then.

Check it below:

Iggy is now responding to all of the madness. The “Fancy” raptress said she’s tired of online pettiness and wishes everyone would stop trying to pit her against other people all the time:

 photo iggyresponds.png

 

She posted the above message with the caption, "This is my mind state about everything & the only time I'm ever going to refer to this again so go nuts guys, Enjoy it. Ps. If you squint exxxtra hard you can see tiny elves having illuminati meetings between the lines in my notes app too."

Well, welcome to the rap game you were just clamoring to be in Iggy.

Although she didn’t win Best Female Hip Hop Artist at the BET Awards, she did break another record. Her hit track “Fancy” earned the Aussie raptress the title of the longest-leading No. 1 by a female rapper. This is her sixth week at the No.1 spot, beating out Lil Kim who spent 5 weeks at the top with her 2001 collaboration track "Lady Marmalade.”

We were never really here for soccer, or the other 'football' if that's what you call it.  That is, until we saw TEAM USA's goal keeper Tim Howard.  Then, we were here for the 2014 World Cup ALL DAY.  Meet the New Jersey-born hottie inside...

 

There's a very good reason 35-year-old African American/Hungarian soccer star Tim Howard landed one of the covers of the 2014 ESPN Body Issue.  Because his body looks like....this.  And he's ridiculously good with his hands.

 photo espn_2010bww_04_zps6121b6c7.jpg photo e96ee172f2cf335ca6b984fab9aa93a3_zps57f25b38.jpg

 photo tim-howard1_zps5815df84.jpg

Sheesh.  But it gets better.  Tim blew up all over the internet this week despite TEAM USA's loss to Belgium....because of his record breaking amount of saves.  He's a beast as a goal keeper and stopped 16 goal attempts. 16.  This set a World Cup record for the last 50 years.  Nice!

And yes ladies, he's single!  He and his wife divorced in 2010 after several years of marriage.  And the pro-athlete--who holds a dual American/Hungary citizenship by the way--is a doting dad to their two kids:

The big Jay Z & Nas fan has a major passion for getting tatted up.  He even starred in PET's INK Not Mink campaign and often shares the process of him getting his tatts:

And if you need any more reason to like this guy, he has always been open about embracing his Tourette's syndrome, a neurological disorder he has suffered from since childhood. He often works to dispel ignorance about the disorder and was even named MLS Humanitarian of the Year in 2001 for his work with children with Tourette's.  He is also involved with Athletes in Action, a ministry arm of Campus Crusade for Christ

Newlyweds NBA star Baron Davis and his wife Isabella Brewster were spotted leaving Craigs Restaurant in L.A.

Baron and Isabella (whose big sister is Fast And Furious actress Jordana Brewster) tied the knot back in January of this year. The couple never confirmed their nuptials, but Jordana tweeted congratulatory messages to her sister on her big day.

Nice.

Poor Drizzy.

Drake is currently recovering from an undisclosed illness. And now, under doctor’s orders, he will not be headlining the three-day Wireless Festival in London and Birmingham this weekend.

The "Worst Behavior" rapper sent a message out to his fans via the Wireless Festival’s official website saying,

"To my beloved fans, it truly breaks my heart that I won't be able to perform as planned at Wireless and Roskilde this weekend. I got sick a few days ago and although I am on my way to bouncing back, my doctors have made it clear that I am not physically fit to fly or deliver the performance my fans expect and deserve from me. I will be focused on resting for a quick recovery. I have the best fans in the world and I can't wait to come back to make more incredible memories together."

In an attempt to make up for Drizzy’s absence, Live Nation and the festival organizers have pulled out all the stops to keep fans happy. Kanye West (who was already set to perform) will headline an additional show on Saturday for London fans and Birmingham fans will enjoy an extended set from Rudimental and other acts.

Joining Kanye, Pharrell, Outkast, Bruno Mars, Wiz Khalifa, and Iggy Azalea are also scheduled to perform at the Wireless Festival.

Hope he’s better before his 2014 ESPYs hosting gig on July 16th!

As she gears up to release her third studio album, Jennifer Hudson finally reveals the title to her upcoming LP.  It's JHUD.

After releasing her newest track “It’s Your World” featuring R. Kelly, the “Walk It Out” singer says her new album will give fans a different side of her and will be a very personal experience. In a radio interview with WPGC, the Grammy award-winning singer said

“It’s different expressions of me as an artist, a girl, a music lover,” Hudson told WPGC.

Still no confirmation on the actual date JHUD will be released, but fans can expect to hear it sometime in mid-August.

Remember Hi-Five?  The hit group from the 90's with "Kissing Game" and "Can't Wait Another Minute"?  In shocking news today, Member Russell Neal has just been arrested after his wife was found dead in their home.

 

Details inside...

 photo HiFive1-620x733_zpse284a27c.jpg

Russell Neal (on far right in pic above) is currently in custody after the Hi-Five singer told the cops himself that his wife was dead inside their apartment.  Interestingly, while being questioned by police, he reportedly revealed he and his wife had an argument....but then he clammed up and demanded a lawyer.

TMZ reports:

Neal apparently told Houston cops he and his wife had gotten into an argument Wednesday ... The singer then reportedly asked for a lawyer and then clammed up.

Neal -- is currently being detained ... no charges have been filed.

Sounds eerily similar to the Michael Jace case.  The group's lead member, Tony Thompson, died in 2007 after inhaling freon.

By the way, the group is still out here performing.  They have an upcoming End Of Summer Soul Jam September 6th in The Bronx and the Throwback Fest in Ontario, CA August 9th.

Keke Palmer’s new talk show on BET is kicking off with an exclusive during it's premiere week. Raven Symone will appear on today’s show and she’s opening up about her gay marriage tweet and dealing with stereotypes of being a child actor. Find out how Raven is dealing with the public’s opinion of her lifestyle and more inside….

After proudly waving her pride flag on social media, actress Raven Symone is opening up for the first time about the tweet that had everyone asking about her sexuality.

Raven tweeted last August:

During a video chat on Keke Palmer’s new talk show “Just Keke” (which airs today),  Raven explained why she tweeted her acceptance of gay marriage after legislation was passed to recognize same-sex marriage and how she remains confident in the person she is today. She also opened up about growing up as a child actor and having to deal with the stereotypes that went along with it.

Here are the highlights:

Keke: Now, you sent out a tweet last August saying, “I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you.” Now it made news because of course everybody had the question of, Is this Raven coming out? Is this her moment? Do you want to talk about that?

Raven: I’ll just say I love my LGBT community and I’m part of them for always.

Keke: Yes! Yes! Now you know I have to say because coming up as a child actor, working in Disney Channel, all that type of stuff, people have an idea of who and what and how you should be. So when you sent that tweet out, were you expecting that kind of feedback? Were you prepared for it?

Raven: Girl, I sent it because people are raising stupid laws. Period….
 

Keke: Now when you first got out of “That’s So Raven,” I really wanna ask this question from me too, because, like I said being a child actor people always want to group you up and keep you the same way. Especially with “Akeelah and the Bee,” I feel like “Akeelah and the Bee” is my Urkel ya’ll. I ain’t never gonna live that one down girl. So how was it, when you changed your hair up different than people expected, it’s not “That’s So Raven,” it’s not Raven Baxter, it’s Raven Symone. What was that like? What was the feedback like? How did you learn to silence all of that?

Raven: That’s a tricky question missy. How do I say this correctly without making people angry? You have to be confident in who you are no matter what your team, background noise or front-ground noise makes. You have to stay strong as long as you’re not, ya know, being a drug addict or nothing crazy then you gotta listen. But when you’re just trying to color your hair, stay strong. It’s hard because people want to continue the brand, continue the look that they created to, I’m being honest, they want continue that look that made them money for so long but sometimes it doesn’t always coincide with who you are as a person…

Keke: {Crying} Raven, I mean you make me cry because I look up to you for so long and it means to much to me to sit here and speak to you and even get a second of your time. What you have done for me and every single girl in this room, we can never pay you back, I thank you so much….

Aww.  Check it:

Raven’s episode on “Just Keke” premieres July 3rd 5PM ET/PT on BET.
