Last night, Rihanna and her bestie Melissa Forde were spotted leaving a private dinner and surprise birthday party for their friend/Rih's assistant Jenn Rosales.  Rih stepped out in a hot oink maxi dress, white Louboutins (which she swapped out for sneakers) and a cute striped clutch.

After the first event, Rihanna was spotted walking into Meatpacking District hotspot The Griffin at 2:30am.  By this point, she swapped her heels for a pair of New Balance sneakers.  Not mad at that.

On her way out of the club (around 4:15am) a fan presented her with a portrait as she headed to her car.

Torrei Hart RESPONDS To Kevin Hart’s ENGAGEMENT, “Well If He Cheated On Me...” + CONFIRMS She Has A New Man

Last night, “Atlanta Exes” premiered on VH1 and it starred Kevin Hart's ex-wife Torrei Hart.  But while the show aired, Kevin Hart revealed he proposed to his girlfriend of five years, Eniko Parrish. So, what did Torrei have to say about it? Find out inside…

VH1’s newest reality show “Atlanta Exes” premiered last night. And while we were watching to see what tea would be spilled, comedian Kevin Hart pulled a fast one and revealed on Instagram that he and girlfriend Eniko Parrish had just gotten engaged! Yep…right in the middle of the show.

Some could see his move as calculated, but apparently he proposed to Eniko on her 30th birthday….which just so happened to be the same day as the “ATL Exes” premiere.

So what does his ex-wife think about it? Well…she actually is unfazed by the news. She said,“I think it is beautiful.”

In fact, she said his proposal brought extra media attention to the show, so it actually worked out in her favor.

During an interview with Ryan Cameron on V103 in Atlanta, Torrei revealed she actually is in love too and that her man was right by her side as her show became a trending topic on Twitter. And get this…her new man is also her new manager (did she not learn from Angie Stone?) and was also present her during this radio interview. She said her new man rides for her...and she never was able to get that from Kevin.

So why does she get so emotional every time she brings up Kevin on the show? She revealed the fact that his current fiancée was also the mistress that broke up their marriage, and having to relive it on the show--which was filmed back in January--is what makes it so hard.

After her break-up with Kevin, she revealed how family members did her dirty to be on Kevin’s side…with all the money and the fame. (One of her family members still works for Kevin.)  She said it really hurt her but she was able to pray through it. She made a list of names, prayed over it and then burned the names in a “bon fire” to release it and give it to God.  Do you boo!

And as a way to try to make amends with her ex and his new woman, Torrei revealed she actually invited Kevin and Eniko to the premiere viewing party in Atlanta last night. According to her, they responded in a derogatory way, although she didn't say who was the one being disrespectful. Hmm...

So does Torrei think Kevin's relationship with his "rib" is going to last? She never directly responded. But when asked if she thinks he's going to cheat on Eniko she responded, "Well he cheated on me..." Decide amongst yourselves on what she meant by that.

Check out her new boo below:

And in another recent interview with CNikky.com, Torrei chimed in about black men dating outside of their race once they reach a certain status.  Or at elast, requiring a woman of a certain skin tone.  Eniko, who is Jamaican, is perceived as “exotic” by many in the black culture, which resulted in Torrei revealing that she questioned her own beauty.

She said,

“Honestly, it wasn’t all Kevin’s fault. I won’t say it was all his fault. Cause I look back now and I take ownership of some of the things I could’ve done differently. But, I did question my beauty. I did question like, wow, why is it that all black men, when they reach a certain level, they have to feel like they need someone of another race, or a different skin tone on their arm? And I’m just like, well why aren’t we looked at as beautiful? We’re beautiful black queens! You know what I mean? And I love my black men."

"You know and I support them 100% And I don’t feel like, once I make it, I gotta go to the other side! You know? And not saying, cause I’ve dated outside my race, I have, but I just don’t feel, like I need it on my arm to feel better about myself. And I just feel like, sometimes our men do.”

Do you agree?

“ATL Exes” Cast HOST Private Premiere Party In Atlanta + Monyetta Shaw Reveals Ne-Yo Called Off ENGAGEMENT...On The PHONE!

Last night at 10 Terminus Place in the Buckhead neighborhood in Atlanta, the cast of "Atlanta Exes" were the hosts for their private premiere party. See the party pics and deets on Monyetta’s break-up with Ne-Yo inside…

 photo sls17.jpg

The season premiere of VH1’s newest reality show “Atlanta Exes” premiered last night. And to kick off the debut, the cast hosted their own private viewing party at 10 Terminus Place in Atlanta.

Usher’s ex-Tameka Raymond, Kevin Hart’s ex-Torrei Hart, Cee Lo’s ex-Christina Johnson, Ne-Yo’s ex-Monyetta Shaw and Ray Buchanan’s ex- Sheree Buchanan were all there to watch the first two premiere episodes together.
 

 photo sls16.jpg

So did y’all catch when Monyetta revealed Ne-Yo called off their engagement…on the damn phone in the first episode? According to her, he called her up and told her he was not ready to be an a monogamous relationship. This dude...

On the show shee also revealed she and Ne-Yo actually still live in the home they shared when they were together. Yep…they’re still living together... “for the children.”(But isn't Ne-Yo in a new relationship?)  And ten months after being separated (at the time of the recording of the show), she was still rocking her engagement ring. In the 2nd episode, she went to have the ring redesigned, but ended up deciding to keep it for her children. And she also revealed to Christina she can’t have anymore children and that she has never talked about it.

 photo sls8.jpg

Tameka Raymond was front and center with her royal blue suede thigh boots on the red carpet.

On the show, it seems Tameka will be the “villain” as she was constantly throwing shade at her “friend” Sheree Buchanan. And seemingly being a “Debbie Downer” whenever someone else was trying to speak.

During an interview with Ryan Cameron on V103 this morning, she tried to convince people she’s not as angry as it looks on television. Ryan put her on blast as he recalled personal incidents he encountered with her.  Hmph.

So has Tameka found a new man? Not yet, but she did reveal she was dating and the guy she is seeing doesn’t live in the United States. Chile….

 photo sls7.jpg

Torrei Hart showed some skin in distressed super short denim shorts underneath a cutout salmon top. She recently expressed her opinions on how she feels about her ex-husband’s recent engagement announcement....on the same day as she debuts on "Atlanta Exes.".  Check it out here.

 photo sls6.jpg

Christina Johnson looked nice the red carpet.

 photo sls2.jpg

And look who she brought with her...Willie! He's the guy Sheree set her up with on a blind date. Although he's legally married (and supposedly in the process of getting a divorce), it looks like they went on that 2nd date already.

 

 photo sls9.jpg

Sheree Buchanan posed it up with a smile. She and Tameka bumped heads over Tameka’s criticism of the way Sheree chooses to raise her children. Parents are sensitive about their kids, so we wonder how this will pan out.

 photo sls4.jpg

The ladies posed it up for the photogs.

"Married to Medicine" star Quad Webb-Lunceford and Monyetta shared a few laughs on the carpet.

Nice look for her.

Former "RHOA" star Sheree Whitfield stopped by for a snapshot.  We're sure she can relate to those "ATL Exes".

Rihanna's "River Island" Model Ataui Deng FOUND At NYC Hospital -- Reported Missing For Two Weeks

Sudanese model Ataui Deng, who's modeled for Rihanna's River Island collection, has been found at local hospital in New York City after a frantic two week search.  More inside...

 photo model19n-1-web.jpg

Two weeks ago, Sudanese model Ataui Deng (the niece of supermodel Alek Wek) went missing in New York City.  The 22-year-old stunner was last spotted outside of Hell's Kitchen hotspot The Attic on West 48th Street; she was later reported missing by her live-in boyfriend, actor & PR worker Grant Monohon (pictured below).

 photo grant-ataui_thumb_zps8ac655f6.jpg

Ataui, who's made tons of friends in the industry, became the subject of a frantic search after Rihanna tweeted her 36 million followers, “If anyone has any information on this young lady’s whereabouts, please call the NYPD or email findataui@gmail.com”.

Thanks to that tweet and tweets from her fellow models like Joan Smalls, as well as other search efforts, a hospital worker tipped off the NYPD around 1AM this morning that Ataui was being treated at an unnamed hospital.  According to the NY Daily News, the worker revealed that Ataui was safe and that her life was not in danger. 

But a little research has uncovered some interesting factors about her life that may--or may not--shed light on why a successful young model would simply go missing for weeks and end up in a hospital.

We've learned that Ataui is currently going through a divorce from husband Kourtney Hopkins, who is also a model at her agency, Trump Agency.

As far as where she's been for the past two weeks or why she's in the hospital...it's unclear.  But her boyfriend gave a peculiar statement about what occured.

He reportedly said that it's not unusual for her to not come home for a day or two.  After leaving the party on August 6th with Ataui, Grant said that she left out again once they arrived home, and she left her phone and everything in the home.  He said that she wanted to "sleep in the park." 

“I was really worried the third day,” he said by phone, before hearing the news that Deng had been found. “She always comes home.”

Grant claims she's been acting "irregular" lately, and he got worried around the third day of her not returning home.  He reported Ataui missing eight days later.

 

 

EXTRAS:

1.  Queen Latifah's low ratings could spell doom for her daily talk show.  Story.

SPEAK ON IT: Diddy Calls Out President Obama About The Ferguson Protests - Is He Doing Enough?

 photo obama-and-diddy1.jpg

As tensions and the number of civilian arrests continue to rise, Diddy has stepped to the forefront (via social media) to call out President Obama for not doing more.  Speak On It inside...

With nearly 9 million Twitter followers and 4 million followers on Instagram, Diddy (who coincidentally has an album with Guy Gerberdropping tomorrow) is calling out POTUS regarding the Michael Brown shooting and Ferguson, MO protests.  

While watching the protests and growing unrest, Diddy flips on his camera and says"This sh-t ain't right. Obama, get on a plane -- it's serious. These are your people, baby. These are your people."  He captioned the clip, "WATCH DIS! DEAR PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!! IF YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY SEND A VIDEO MESSAGE TO THE PRESIDENT #DEAROBAMA"

We've been seeing plenty of critique of our President when it comes to this situation  But is it fair?

QUESTION:  POTUS has already dispatched Attorney General Eric Holder to Ferguson (he's set to arrive on Wednesday); a federal autopsy, which will be in addition tot he city's autopsy, was approved to be conducted on Michael Brown; and the FBI is conducting an investigation to look at civil rights violations in the shooting. 

While some people might argue for "more", there is also a large segment of the American constituency (e.g. The Tea Party) who want the President to stay out of "state" affairs.   There's also a good segment of the population who feel it's more beneficial & impactful to hold state and local officials accountable.

 

Should President Obama be doing more?

 

SPEAK ON IT!

While we patiently await the return of 50 Cent's “Power” series, a new scripted comedy series, executved produced by LeBron James, is coming this October to the same network, Starz. And a new trailer, along with the new poster art (above), has just been released.

“Survivor’s Remorse” is based in Altanta and it follows Cam Calloway, a basketball phenom in his early 20’s who is suddenly thrust into the limelight after signing a multi-million dollar contract with a professional basketball team.

The cast includea:"Level Up" actor Jessie T. Usher will play the lead role of Cam Calloway. Cutie Ronreaco Lee ("Let's Stay Together") has been casted as Cam's cousin and confidant, Reggie Vaughn. “The Real Husbands of Hollywood” actress (starring as Kevin Hart’s ex-wife) Erica Ash will star as Cam’s sister, M-Chuck. YBF fave Tichina Arnold will play Cam’s mother, Cassie. And “Mad Men” star Teyonah Parris will play Reggie’s wife, Missy.

Peep the new trailer:

The show will premiere on Saturday, October 4th at 9pm/ET on STARZ.

And a new show that has already gotten the axe....

 photo noBAPS.jpg

LIFETIME’s “BAPS” series has been cancelled early! The St. Louis-based reality show was pulled today after only four episodes, even though it was scheduled to run for six episodes. Premiering this past July, “BAPS” followed an exclusive, privileged and affluent group of African-American friends from St. Louis who are self-proclaimed Black American Princesses and Princes.

According to STLToday, each cast member was sent an email from Asylum Entertainment informing them that the show was over.

The email read,

"I wanted to let you know that Lifetime informed us that they will not be airing the last 2 episodes of BAPS. We're very sorry it panned out this way. It's very difficult to build an audience for an ensemble show like this one, but we're very proud of the show and happy to have had the experience working with you."

The show saw less than stellar ratings ranging in the 500,000-600,000 viewership range. It also received a lot of negative backlash on social media, so LIFETIME execs decided to pull the plug early on the show.

Will it be missed?  We doubt it....

The real life YBF chick we're loving at the moment is Mo'Ne Davis.  Find out why inside...

A 13-year-old girl landing a Sports Illustrated cover doesn't happen everyday. But today, for the August 25th issue, it did.  Mo'Ne Davis is the baseball phenom who has made history by becoming the first female in history to pitch at shut out game at the Little League World Series.  And she's not just pitching, she's pitching 70-MPH fastballs!

Mo'Ne led her team, the Philadelphia Taney Dragons, to the Little League World Series as the only girl on the team.  This past Friday in the first game of the Series, she pitched a 4-0 shut out game against Tennessee.  And she's not too shabby at batting either.  Her walk-up music: Beyonce's "Run the World (Girls)".  Obviously.

As only the fourth American girl to ever make it to the World Series, she's been getting major pub all over the place.  She told CBS News about "throwing like a girl":

“Throwing 70 miles an hour – that’s throwing like a girl.”

Yassss!  How can we not love her?!  She also knows how big of a deal this is and what it can lead to:

"Probably like a couple of years from now, there'll be a lot of girls here, and then it won't be just like all boys, so they'll have to build like another dorm for girls, so it'll be a huge impact if more girls start playing," she said.

Her coach and teammates revealed that you'll never see her fall apart on the mound.  The commented that she has an unbreakable spirit and is about her business.

Oh, by the way.  Baseball isn't even her primary sport.  Chick is a beast at basketball...and that's actually her preference.  She told SI:

“To be honest, I never thought I’d be famous for baseball,” she says. “I want to play basketball, and I could also do both basketball and baseball -- but I really want to play basketball.”

Well, she always has something to fall back on...

Good Luck & Congrats Mo'Ne! 

CANDIDS: K. Michelle ADDRESSES “Beef” With Elle Varner + Zoe Kravtiz & Dame Dash Hit The NYC Streets + Dawn Richard Out & About After DK SPlit

K. Michelle, Zoe Kravitz and Dame Dash have been spotted throughout NYC. Also, Dawn Richard is carrying on after the recent Danity Kane split, hitting an event in Las Vegas. Find out what they were all up to inside…

 photo zk6.jpg

K. Michelle got dressed in a fitted white dress and nude peep toe Valentino pumps before making her way to the Hot 97 studio yesterday. She chopped it up with radio hosts on Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning Show and she decided to address the issues she has with her former friend Elle Varner.

During the interview, K reveals the real reason she has a problem with her former homie. The “VSOP” singer and the “Cold Case” singer were under the same management and at one point were pretty close.  But K. Michelle now says that's no longer the case. When asked if she was still cool with her seemingly bestie Elle, she blurted out, “No, absolutely not.”

Damn!

 photo zk5.jpg

So what's the beef about exactly? She explained that the problems she has with Elle have nothing to do with MMG rapper Meek Mill (who’s currently incarcerated) and confirmed she's never dated or slept with Meek…ever.  She said,“That’s what they wanna think. I have never slept with Meek a day in my life.” She then talked about how people aren’t who they seem to be, referencing Elle.

So what's the REAL deal? K is mad because she claims Elle stole a song from her…her favorite song to be exact. K said her management didn’t let her release the record herself because it was too "big" for her…meaning they wanted her to keep her in a certain lane and that the song was too mainstream for her brand. She explained she played the record for Elle, and the next thing she knows, Elle later plays the same record back to her, using the same producers and everything.

She then revealed Elle started to try to dress and talk like her because she was still looking for her identity, wanting to be more sexy.  Tank goodness the beef isn't over anything petty... *side eye*

Annother random K. quote -- “We don’t give a f*ck about that India Arie ass music."

What? Chile…

Check it at the 8:08 mark:

Also in NYC...

Divergent star Zoe Kravitz was spotted taking a stroll in East Village today. The starlet is gearing up for the release of her new film, “Good Kill.” We spotted her on the set of her latest flick, decked out in her air pilot gear for her new role.

Zoe stars in the Air Force thriller with Ethan Hawke and "Mad Men" actress January Jones. Directed by Andrew Niccol, Ethan plays a pilot who questions his own ethical standing while operating drone attacks on the Taliban.

"Good Kill" is expected to hit the silver screen in 2015.

And last night...

Dame Dash was spotted in his B-Boy stance, styling in a fresh pair of J's in SoHo.

After the recent (and likely final) split of girl group Danity Kane, Dawn Richard seems to be carrying on with a smile.

The “Lemonade” singer hit up the Lust for Life booth last night as she hosted a meet and greet during the 2014 MAGIC market week at the Las Vegas Convention Center today.
 

 photo zk3.jpg

You’ll recall, the group disbanded after a fight broke out between Dawn and band mate Aubrey O’Day. It resulted in Aubrey allegedly getting punched in the head, calling the cops and pressing charges. But Dawn claims it was Aubrey and Shannon who caused the demise of the group after she allegedly caught them conducting business meetings without her. Drama….

Guess she's doing what she can to collect those coins since the DK checks will soon stop rolling in.

Nicki Minaj served up big booties on a scenic platter for her brand new "Anaconda" video.  The visuals are her latest offering off her upcoming album The Pink Print

While sampling Sir Mix-a-lot's "Baby Got Back", the Polow Da Don & Da Internz-produced track is all about girls showing off their big butts in the club  And, as Nicki so eloquently puts it,"F**k them skinny bitches in the club, I wanna see all the big, fat, ass b*tches in the club."

Before twerking her enhanced ASSets all over Drake (who y'all know is quite thirsty in real life to get at Nicki), she incorporates elements of Sir Mix-a-lot's video from the dances to the huge signs.

By now, you've seen our reports about Kevin Hart's engagement to Eniko Parrish, which coincidentally happened on the same night as Torrei Hart'sdebut on "Atlanta Exes."  The coincidence didn't go unnoticed by commenters on Kevin's Instagram page who took him to task for what they considered to be classic shade. And yes, Kevin was aware of the premiere date as Torrei revealed yesterday that she actually invited Kevin and Eniko to the premiere party.

Kevin (who is known to be VERY interractive with his fans on social media) decided to respond about the shade, revealing to fans that it was out of his hands that Torrei's debut fell on Eniko's birthday and the ONLY thing on his mind was ENiko...but he wishes Torrei well.  Oh...and he reitereated that he moved on SIX years ago.  Just in case Torrei (or the fans) forgot.  

I wish y'all could see my face when I read some of the comments that you guys leave....I just want to take a second to share some COMMONSENSE with you guys!!! August 18th was @neekibaby actual Birthday...it wasn't the day before or the day after. I will say this one more time & never repeat myself again....I wish my X Wife nothing but the best in life...I've moved forward with my life & have been doing so for the last 6 years. The only thing that was on my mind yesterday was making sure my lady had an amazing 30th B Day. I'm happy to say that my now FIANCÉ was blown away by the entire evening. #MissMeWithTheBullshit #KillNegaitivityWithPositivity

But wait....there's more!  After the engagement AND after Torrei's premiere party, Torrei, Eniko and Kevin bumped into each other at the strip club!  According to sources, Kev and Torrei were seated withing eye shot of one another, but NEITHER acknowledged that the other as there. However, Kevin did make a spectacle by dropping $40K and making it rain.  Sigh.....

 photo 928347_354071624739848_1917823126_n.jpg

Shade or no shade....Kevin and Eniko are going forward with their love and their actions suggest that present and future fans of Torrei Hart should let it go.  Despite how gut wrenching this whole mistress turned wife-to-be scenario played out. 

Kevin posted the last pic gushing about his bride-to-be saying, "I surprised the shit out of her last night....I hit her with what I like to call a double banger lol. I just want to say thank you to all of her friends & family that came out & helped me make her 30th a day to remember. Last night was EPIC #NikosDirtyThirty #WeWereTurnedUp #GreatTimesWithGreatPeople."

Well good luck to them...

NO DISTRACTIONS: The REAL Issue Surrounding The Michael Brown Case

With confusing, often irrelevant and false information circulating around the Michael Brown case in Ferguson, Missouri, it's time we get to the bottom of it all.  We tapped a criminal defense attorney/former prosecutor to give us the low down on how, when & if justice will be served....

On Saturday, August 9th, unarmed 18-year-old teen was shot to death by officer Darren Wilson.  Afer the shooting occurred at noon, the world has witnessed one of the most tension-filled aftermaths of a police-civilian shooting in recent times.

 photo AP_michael_browns_parents_mar_140811_16x9_992_zps13266cd4.jpg

As the protests, the unrest, both peaceful and not-so-peaceful actions from a militarized police and a few citizens continue, everyone is demanding justice.  Since the Ferguson Police Department has been far from forthcoming with basic information to explain what really happened the day Michael brown was shot, an exorbitant amount of confusing information and details have taken center stage.  And we have watched Michael's parents (above) grieve for their son, while searching for answers the Ferguson PD seems to have no interest in giving.

We tapped Yodit Tewolde, Criminal Defense Attorney and Former Prosecutor, to break down the facts our readers need to know.  And to explain exactly how, if and when justice will legally be served.  Here's her compelling take on the main issue at hand and the criminalization of young, black victims:

Let's stop the idle chatter and cut to the chase. The shooting death of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri has become the focus of national attention. There has been a game played by Ferguson police and the media with the intent to distract from key issues surrounding this controversial case. Futile attacks on Brown's character have done nothing to address the many questions thousands of protesters have been demanding to know from the very beginning: Why was an unarmed black teenager, who was walking down Canfield Drive, shot multiple times by a police officer? More importantly, was the officer legally justified in doing so?

It is no coincidence that the same day the Ferguson Police Department (“FPD”) identified Darren Wilson as the officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, reports and surveillance footage claiming to show Brown in the act of robbing a convenience store were suddenly released. The FPD's irresponsible decision to release this type of information six days after Brown's killing doesn't pass the smell test. Brown's culpability in this robbery has no direct bearing on how or why he was killed. Police Chief Jackson confirmed to reporters at Friday's press conference that the robbery had no relation to the initial contact between Wilson and Brown. Whether Wilson had some knowledge of an alleged robbery occurring or not, his contact with Brown was based on the simple fact that he was “walking down the middle of the street blocking traffic,” according to Jackson. So if one didn't have anything to do with the other, why would the FPD disseminate this information to the public?

Well it's simple – it's called criminalization. We've seen this transparent move done to perfection in the past – the media's conscious effort to create a negative portrayal of young, black victims to justify their killings in some way. No one cared about Trayvon Martin's school suspensions, or Renisha McBride's blood alcohol level or marijuana use. And no one should care about Michael Brown's past either. The primary focus must remain on the issue at the very core of this case and that is whether Officer Wilson believed there was an immediate threat to his life that would legally justify his use of deadly force against Michael Brown. The evidence could support Wilson's version of the events of a violent confrontation initiated by Brown, who he claims attempted to grab his gun. Under these circumstances, Wilson could have been legally justified in using deadly force. On the other hand, the evidence may discredit Wilson's account and corroborate statements made by several witnesses that say Wilson shot Brown after raising his arms in the air; therefore, Wilson's use of deadly force when the threat was neutralized would not be justified. With new information developing every day and pending the results of investigations by both local and federal officials, no one at this point can answer with certainty the question of whether deadly force was justifiable in this case.

Autopsy results on Brown's body released Monday morning shed new light on what may have occurred right before Brown was shot to death. It appears Brown was shot at least six times, including two shots to the head. A gun shot wound to the top of a 6-foot-4 Brown could suggest his head was bent forward, possibly in a kneeling position when the bullet struck him. Gun shot wounds to Brown's arms could have occurred while his arms were in the air, possibly in a defensive posture. Brown also sustained multiple abrasions to his face consistent with falling face first to the ground after being shot to death. These findings seem to support what several eye witnesses reported seeing that tragic day, but is hardly enough to forensically reconstruct the shooting according to Dr. Baden, the medical examiner who conducted the autopsy. There is still an additional autopsy pending that was approved by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Brown's body that will be conducted by a federal medical examiner. An autopsy by the St. Louis County Medical Examiner's office was also done, but like everything else those results have not yet been released.

What Now?

Once the state investigation by the St. Louis County police department is complete with forensic details -- the autopsy results and toxicology tests -- the case gets handed over to the district attorney's office. The District Attorney will then present the evidence gathered to a grand jury, a group of people who represent a broad cross-section of the population of the county to determine whether filing criminal charges against Wilson is appropriate given the facts and the law. Although the wheels of justice are moving forward, charges against the officer will not come quickly until a thorough investigation is complete. Until then, thousands will continue to rally and march down the streets of Ferguson in support of Michael Brown, but more importantly, justice.

Kanye & Kim SHAPE UP Their $20 Million Mansion, While Kanye SLIMS DOWN With New Diet + Khloe K. & French Montana Are Still Gushing Over Each Other

As the Wests prepare to put the finishing touches on their $20 Million mansion, Kanye has gone on a strict regimen to drop a few pounds.  Get deets on their home and his workout plan inside and see what Khloe revealed about shooting "Don't Panic" with French Montana.

Pretty soon, Kanye and Kim will be moving out of Kris Jenner's home into a sprawling 16,000 sq ft estate.  Their new $20 Million home (pics here) is not the Bel-Air McMansion they purchased a few months ago and Kim explained the housing swap to PEOPLE recently saying,

'Soon [we'll be moving out of my mom's]. It might be a few months, but I'm not sure. We just found a new, amazing place. 'I am so ready to be out of my mom's house, you have no idea. But it will be nice to still be close.

When we bought our Bel Air house, we didn't have a baby, we weren't even pregnant. After you have a baby, you realize that you need so many other things and a different kind of space. So being in the city is a different life. We wanted to be away and have more privacy.'

The home features a theater with suede walls, a wet bar, a library, a office, a family room, eight fireplaces and a master suite with a stone fireplace.

And while their new home is shaping up, Kanye is slimming down.  He's reportedly been working out 5x a day with personal trainer Harley Pasternak who told the Daily Mirror,

'My program for him covers exercise in the gym, his steps outside, and his lifestyle habits and diet. For the first five days of the Rest diet diet he has three meals and two crunchy snacks. A white smoothie for breakfast, red smoothie for lunch and a green smoothie for dinner, made with protein, fibre and healthy fat in every meal.

Kanye works out five times a week - and I also have to influence him when he's not training. He wears a Fitbit in his pocket every day. It's a device which monitors his activity so I can chart his steps on my laptop.'
 

Hmm....a slimmer/trimmer Kanye?  He's already showing off his pecs and rocking skinny jeans...what's next? Semi-nude selfies like his wife? Work.

Earlier, we told you about French Montana booking his girlfriend Khloe Kardashian as the lead in his "Don't Panic" shoot and recently, Khloe dished on the fun she had behind the scenes.  Clearly they're on a campaign to let y'all know they have NOT broken up.  In between sips of Champagne at Foxwoods Resort Casino's Liquid Sundays pool party in Connecticut, she told PEOPLE,

"It was my first music video so I didn't do a lot of acting. I did a lot of posing. Being in a music video you're more like posing, so I was good with that.  It was great. It was easy. It was like I didn't even realize it was [work] ... we were just having fun. It didn't seem that serious – we were just comfortable hanging out. He's a great talent."

Jennifer Hudson's Half-Brother Stephen Angelo Simpson ARRESTED For BRUTALLY Stabbing Estranged Wife's Boyfriend

Jennifer Hudson's half-brother Stephen Angelo Simpson was arrested yesterday for repeatedly stabbing the boyfriend of his estranged wife. More inside....

 

There's more trouble in Jennifer Hudson's extended family. The Oscar-winner's half brother Stephen Angelo Simpson (through her father Samuel Simpson) was arrested in Michigan yesterday after he burst into the apartment of his estranged wife and repeatedly stabbed her current boyfriend in the face.

According to Van Buren County's local CBS affiliate WWMT, neighbor Torrey Hunt, said that the couple ran to his home for help around 3 a.m.

"He said someone knocked on the door, he thought he was knocking on the door for somebody, and he started getting stabbed up. I open the door and see blood everywhere. He was stabbed in his chin and his chest, he had puncture wounds in his chest and his arms and stuff." Once taken to the hospital, he received dozens of stitches and was released.

Detective Adam DeBoer went on to tell WWMT that during Stephen's attack on her boyfriend, the wife "locked herself in the bathroom until he left." He added, "It appears to be an ongoing feud over a woman."

Jen's brother has a very sketchy past and a string of domestic violence arrests. At the time of the stabbing, he was on probation and had been jailed for assaulting his estranged wife on Super Bowl Sunday back in February. For now, he is in custody in Paw Paw, Michigan, and expected to be charged with attempted murder and first degree home invasion.

Unfortunately, the arrest of Stephen is just the latest in a string of tragic events to hit the family. In 2012, Jennifer took the stand to testify in the murder trial of William Balfour, the estranged husband of Jen's sister Julia, who was convicted of murdering her mother Darnell Donerson, brother Jason Hudson and nephew Julian King.

Neither Julia nor Jen, who's been traveling around the county to promote her upcoming cd "JHUD", have spoken publicly about the arrest.

 

In case you missed it....

 

Jennifer appeared on the TODAY show yesterday where she debuted her latest single "Dangerous" from her forthcoming "JHud" disc (Sept. 23rd).

DINNER DATE: Nick Young & Iggy Azalea DINE In Beverly Hills + Ray Allen UPSET With Florida Police's Handling Of Home Invasion

NBA baller Nick Young and his girl Iggy Azalea went on a dinner date in Beverly Hills last night. Find out where they went and why Ray Allen is pissed with the way police are handling an investigation after his home was invaded while his wife and children were slepping inside….

L.A. Lakers player Nick “Swaggy P” Young and his rapper girlfriend Iggy Azalea were hungry so they decided to make it a date night. The couple made their way to Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills for some good eats.

 photo spl823124_022.jpg

As you may or may not know, Nick is currently involved in a sexual assault lawsuit. An unidentified woman made claims that she had non-consensual sex with the NBA player after he bought her several drinks at a bar in West Hollywood back in 2011 (while he was playing for the Washington Wizards). The suit alleges she was taken to Nick's apartment after partying with him at the bar and he had sex with her without her permission.

The woman originally filed the lawsuit against the NBA baller and the Crown Bar but has since filed an amended complaint, dropping three of the seven allegations.

In her original lawsuit, the unidentified woman accused Nick of battery, sexual battery, assault, sexual assault, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence in her new lawsuit. In July, Nick’s lawyer, Steve Cochran, requested three of those charges be dismissed: assault, sexual assault and false imprisonment. The woman’s lawyer did not oppose.

According to Nick’s attorney,

“Mr. Young met with police, provided information without invoking his right to remain silent and gave a genetic sample for DNA testing,” Cochran’s statement read. “The DNA analyzed by police does not match Mr. Young. Proven innocent, Mr. Young was neither arrested nor charged with any crime, based on (the) plaintiff’s story.”

Guess we'll see how this will pan out with time. When will they learn?

And another baller involved in a case....

Last week, eight teenagers (ages 18-19) broke into former Miami Heat star Ray Allen's Coral Gables home while his wife and children were home alone sleeping. The teens had the audacity to roam their entire house, which resulted in his wife, Shannon, being frighteningly awakened to a group of men standing in her bedroom with flashlights!

The free agent and his wife were furious with the way the police were handling the investigation. At first, the Coral Gables Police Department decided NOT to press charges against the teens and simply characterized the incident as a silly prank. Was it because these were rich white kids? Cause we all know what would have happened had it been kids from another race…but that’s for another post.

According to Coral Gables police spokeswoman Kelly Denham, the authorities decided not to press burglary charges because there was no forced entry, no intent (nont sure how they came to that conclusion other than them assuming because they "live in the wealthy neighborhood" they couldn't possibly steal things) and nothing was taken. I n Florida, long as you don’t force yourself in someone’s house and don’t take anything…you won’t be punished if you still enter without permission? Ok.

Allen’s family released a statement detailing the events of that night saying,

“We want to correct the erroneous information being reported about the crime committed in our home this week. On Thursday morning at 2:30 a.m., my wife Shannon was awakened by loud voices in our bedroom where she had been sleeping with our four young children.

“She heard male voices loudly discussing our personal property and sat up in a state of alarm to find at least five people inside our bedroom with large flashlights. She was immediately fearful for the safety of her own life, but more importantly the lives of our young children. When she screamed at them, the intruders quickly fled the scene and laughter was heard as they made their way out of our bedroom, down the stairs and out of our house.

“As these individuals were fleeing our house, Shannon immediately called security and the police for help. Shannon and I believe that a number of the public statements made through media outlets have mischaracterized certain important facts and what we believe to be the seriousness of this potentially devastating invasion upon our lives, home and family,” Allen said.
 

It wasn't until Ray and his wife spoke out about the lack of the police department doing anything were charges decided to be brought up. Now the eight teens are facing misdemeanor trespassing charges. The Allens also have decided to press criminal charges. They made a visit to the state attorney’s office yesterday and have provided statements regarding the incident.

Had Shannon busted a cap in one of them, best believe she would be facing some type of criminal charges right now....

Chris Brown says he’s ready for some babies. And he needs Karrueche to make it happen. Also, Gucci Mane, who has been incarcerated since last year, was sentenced to 39 more months in a federal prison. Find out why inside….

 photo cbk2-1.jpg

Chris Brown loves to stir things up on social media. And in honor of #WCW yesterday, he posted the picture above his off-again and now on-again girlfriend Karrueche.  But the caption is what really has everyone talking.

He wrote, “@karrueche damn near 5 years and this woman still putting up with my shit. Need to have this baby and stop playing! Lol! My WCW”

We all know how he likes to play around, but we wouldn’t be surprised if she turns up pregnant next month....

These two have been spending a lot of extra time together recently after a recent break-up to make-up. Just a few days ago, the couple was spotted all cuddled up on the sidelines of Breezy’s celebrity flag football game for charity (above). Chris also shared a photo of the two in the wee hours of the morning, all smiles as they rode around L.A. And last night they enjoyed an intimate seafood dinner:

And in rapper news...

 photo gucci.jpg

Gucci Mane (real name Radric Davis) has been sitting behind bars for the past 11 months waiting for his fate to be determined after an incident that happened last September.

Yesterday, the Atlanta rapper was sentenced to 39 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to a firearms charge. In a plea deal, the "Gucci vs Guwop" rapper plead guilty to possession of a Glock 40-caliber handgun in exchange to facing up to 10 years in jail and a fine of up to $250,000.

Since he has been behind bars since last year, he will be granted time served and will finish the remaining 28 months before being released on three years probation.

You’ll recall Gucci Mane was arrested in Atlanta after cops were called to the scene for his "erratic" behavior. According to reports, he began cursing and threatening the cops, which gave them probable cause to search him. He was later booked for carrying a concealed weapon, disorderly conduct and marijuana possession. And he also was sent to a hospital for evaluation for his “erratic” behavior.

Rihanna, who can make sneakers and cutoff shorts looks like a million bucks, stepped out of Da Silvano in NYC this week (with two purses) after dinner with friends.  And she was on her way to see her homieloverfriend Drake perform at the Drake vs. Lil Wayne tour stop in Queens. 

She braved the crowd of paparazzi and fans to trek it back to her car:

And she was spotted in VIP rapping along and dancing to "Trophies". Fun times.

By the way, rumors are swirling that the "Monster" singer is one of three frontrunners for Superbowl 2015.  Coldplay's Chris Martin (who Rihanna's also been seen meeting and dining with lately, hmmm...) and Katy Perry are reportedly the other two.

But, interestingly, the NFL is now making halftime performers PAY to perform.  And the frontrunners aren't feeling this "request".  The Wall Street Journal reports:

Upon informing the musical acts of their candidacy, the National Football League also asked the hitmakers' representatives if they would be willing "to contribute a portion of their post-Super Bowl tour income to the league, or if they would make some other type of financial contribution, in exchange for the halftime gig.

Say what now?  Doesn't the NFL make ENOUGH money with all those 30 second $2-$4 million commercials during the Superbowl?  Sheesh!

NOW TURNING ON DIVORCE LANE: Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon

Divorce is reportedly on the horizon for Mariah Carey& Nick Cannon, after six years of marriage.  The first credible reports are painting the picture we all have been seeing shape up for a while now.  Deets inside...

 

According to reports, 33-year-old Nick & 44-year-old Mariah are divvying up money and assets as we type as they prepare to file official divorce papers.  TMZ reports:

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon separated back in May -- and are living apart ... and we're told divorce lawyers have been negotiating a property settlement and custody agreement for months and the divorce is "a done deal."

Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ ... Mariah and Nick have been living in separate houses in NYC since May. He sees the kids but that's the extent of their contact.

So what went wrong? 

 photo MariahCareyMTVFirstMariahCareyMineEternal4u1hslHY1Vtl_zps2be61843.jpg

Remember that interview Nick did on Big Boy's Morning Show back in March when he played the "celebrity chicks I banged" game?  Yeah, we knew that wasn't going to end well.  And reportedly, that was the beginning of the end.  The overly image-conscious and "eternally 12" Mariah wasn't feeling it.  And the interview that followed on Howard Stern's show where he talked about their first time having sex....didn't help:

Nick's appearance on Big Boy's radio show in March was the beginning of the end. Nick played Big Boy's game -- name the 5 celebs you've slept with. Nick named 5, but our sources say the one that made Mariah insane was Kim Kardashian.

We're told Mariah tore into Nick for weeks ... feeling humiliated and the relationship never recovered.

We're told it went from bad to worse when Nick went on Howard Stern and talked about Mariah not giving it up before they got hitched. She went nuclear.

We haven't seen Mariah and Nick together in an official capacity since February when they both appeared on Sway's show to promote the premiere of Mariah's "You're Mine (Eternal)" video (above).  And before that, they hit the carpet together at the SAG Awards in January (atop).  But it's been a wrap since then.

And over on Mariah's Instagram page, where she constantly posted pics of the two, it has been absent of a pic of the couple since Mother's Day.

 

Unfortunately, it looks like the divorce filing is around the corner.
