Power couple Beyonce and Jay Z are still “On The Run” as they hopped on a jet and made their way to Paris from New York after an eventful weekend. Hov was the headliner for the Global Citizen Festival and brought Mrs. Carter out as a surprise to close his set.  And they were right back in their fave city just a couple days later.

The stylish couple was spotted sitting in the stands at the Paris Saint-Germain F.C. vs Barcelona F.C. soccer match in the French capital. And they sat next to retired soccer player David Beckham.

During half time, the Hip Hop couple met former French president Nicolas Sarkozy. Nice!

Meanwhile....

Singer LeToya Luckett (shown atop with YBF fav Rob Riley), Gladys Knight (above), and executive producer Taraji P. Henson will star Lifetime's original movie Seasons of Love (Sunday, November 23, 9PM ET/PT).  Here's the synopsis:

"Kyla (LeToya ) and Amir’s (Cleo Anthony, Divergent) new romance is thrown for a loop when Amir’s father (Richard Portnow) suddenly passes away and Kyla’s ex, Miles (Rob Riley, Hit the Floor), comes back into the picture. The two struggle to determine what truly matters to them in this story of life, love and family."

 

Also on Lifetime...

 photo hero-En-Vogue-4.jpg

R&B singing group En Vogue will star as themselves (how clever!) in a holiday film about "getting back together" and performing.  An En Vogue Christmas (Saturday, November 22, 8PM ET/PT) will feature both EV classics and two new tunes.

"Over the years, the funky divas of En Vogue have gone their separate ways, until they are asked to perform a benefit concert to save the club that made them stars. They put aside their hesitations to reunite for the special night, but first must overcome their challenging history with Marty (David Alan Grier, In Living Color), their former manager and the man responsible for breaking them up. In the spirit of the holidays, the ladies find forgiveness and come together for an epic En Vogue Christmas concert to keep the club from closing its doors forever."

 

 photo hero-Santa-Con-v2.jpg 

Jaleel White and "Pastor" Wendy Williams bring the holiday cheer in The Santa Con ((Saturday, December 13, 8PM ET/PT).  Lifetime's press release says:

"Small-time con man Nick DeMarco (Barry Watson, Hart of Dixie) is ordered by his parole officer to take a minimum-wage job as a department store Santa during the holidays…and he hates it. Near the end of his first shift, he hastily promises a young boy, Billy (Tucker Meeks), that Santa will bring his estranged parents back together by Christmas. When his sister Rosemary (Melissa Joan Hart, Melissa and Joey) hears this, she is livid and can’t believe he would break a little boy’s heart with an empty promise. After a long night of soul searching – and with the help of an insightful female pastor (Wendy Williams) – Nick decides to make good on his promise to the child, somehow. But after meeting the boy’s mother Carol (Melissa Sagemiller, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), will Nick ultimately choose to put the happiness of others ahead of his own? "

 

And on ABC's hit series "black•ish"...

Hollywood fave Jenifer Lewis will joinAnthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross on the show (Wednesdays, 8:30pCT) in the recurring role of Dre’s (Anthony Anderson) overbearing mom. While she'll have a great relationship with her son, some of the comedic elements will stem from her clashes with [Dre's wife] Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross).  We can't wait!

In today's interview roundup, Jason Derulo stopped by "The Breakfast Club" for more break-up talk while Omarion discussed his fiance's "water birth" on "The Real."  Watch the interviews inisde...

 

The split between Jordin Sparks (who's starring in Left Behind with Nicholas Cage) and pop star Jason Derulo has been all over social media, so Jason stopped by "The Breakfast Club" to talk about it...again.  Jason dished to On Air With Ryan Seacrest earlier this week, and now, we have more deets.  

While the "Talk Dirty To Me" was very coy about the specific moments that led to the split, he reassured Angela Yee that he and Jordin didn't have any problems in the bedroom. He said there isn't any animosity but of course, they aren't talking.  He says he still loves her and even looks at her Instagram.  He added that their last fight was at a restaurant (Katana in West Hollywood) and he broke up with her over the phone (because he was out of town).  He says his biggest downfall was not making more time for their relationship.

On cheating:

"There was none of that. We had our problems in our relationship.  We have our ups and downs but when you start having more downs that ups, you have to look at your relationship."  

Why they split:

"The small things started adding up.  I work really hard. I'm all over the world. And when you work really hard, the last thing you want to do is argue...I was more in a negative space."

 

 

In other interviews...

"LAHH Hollywood" star Omarion appears on today's episode of "The Real" where he opens up about his strained family dynamic (his mom and baby momma don't get along).  He told the ladies,

"Well, you know, ummm… So I don't get in the middle of that. You know, I just try to keep it neutral, keep it cool, you know. Them is my two favorite ladies, okay you know. Y'all see them go through some drama but, you know, hopefully it ends on a good note. That's what I'm hoping, you know, cause we got the baby here now. It's all about love. It's all about the love. I want the love in the building. That's it."

He also talked about the birth of his son and how Apryl had a"water birth" with no meds!

Details about the 7th season of RHOA have leaked (along with a new trailer) and there are several shakeups.  Get all the deets inside...

 

 photo rs_560x415-141001055723-1024Real-Housewives-Of-Atlanta-JR-100114_copy.jpg

We have to give it up to the producers of RHOA...they know how to shake things up and keep it interesting.  Although the official season 7 cast photo has not been revealed, Porsha Williams told her Instagram followers that she won't be returning as a housewife.

"No more peach for me, but I still love checking in with my girls" #Blessed #SomethingMajor #JustHereToSlay #TeamPorsha

Hmmm.....is "Dish Nation" money that good?    While you will see Porsha in the trailer, she's now a "B" character (alongside Demetria McKinney), whom are normally referred to as "Friend of the Housewives."  So...what happened to her peach?

Actress and tv personality Claudia Jordan will now hold a peach as a "housewife."  And as you'll see in the trailer, she and NeNe will not be friends.  Other interesting observations include a much stronger Cynthia Bailey who is shown deleting NeNe's number!  At one point, it looks like Phaedra attacks Kenya with her purse and there are allegations that Phaedra cheated on Apollo!  Also...we see the nasty confrontation Apollo had with Phaedra before he went to jail.  The trailer is MANY things. 

The Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres Sunday, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

 

EXTRAS: 

1.  Pat and Gina Neely revealed that they HATED each other the entire 11 seasons they worked together.  Story.

Doctors have serious concerns about Tracy Morgan being wheelchair-bound and a verdict has been reached in the murder of Florida teen Jordan Davis.  More inside...

We have an update on Tracy Morgan...and its pretty grim. As Tracy undergoes a rigorous rehab schedule including daily speech, cognitive, vocational and physical therapies, the NY Post asked his lawyer, Benedict Morelli if he'd ever perform again and he said,

“The jury’s still out. The doctors don’t know the answer. I don’t know the answer.” Along with that statement, Benedict shared that Tracy has a long road to recovery and it may impact his ability to work and/or ditch the wheelchair.

Recently, we told you that Walmart is attempting to shift the blame for the deadly crash onto Tracy and the other passengers. Tracy slammed Walmart's statement saying,

"After I heard what Walmart said in court I felt I had to speak out. I can’t believe Walmart is blaming me for an accident that they caused. My friends and I were doing nothing wrong,I want to thank my fans for sticking with me during this difficult time.”

See video of Tracy in his wheelchair on the way to a doctor's visit here.

 

In Florida...

 photo 1412177094001-loud-music-retrial-100114-2.jpg

Wednesday, a 12-person jury Jacksonville, Florida found Michael Dunnguilty of first-degree murder in the 2012 shooting death 17-year-old Jordan Davis.

Outside the courtroom, Jordan's mother Lucia MacBath expressed her gratitude saying the verdict represented justice not only for her son, but others.

"....For Trayvon and for all the nameless faces and children and people that will never have a voice. Words cannot express our joy but also our great sorrow because ... we know that Jordan has received his justice. We know that Jordan's life and legacy will live on for others, but at the same time, we're very saddened by the life that Michael Dunn will continue to live. We are saddened for his family, for his friends and the community that will continue to suffer by his actions."

For Michael Dunn, you'll recall that this isn't his only conviction regarding the "loud music" trial.  In February, he was convicted on one count of shooting into a vehicle and three counts of attempted second-degree murder of the other passengers in the car with Jordan.  As of now, he's facing over 60 years in prison.

We'll let you know what happens...

Rick Ross and R. Kelly have teamed up for new visuals for their track “Keep Doing That (Rich Chick). And we have the behind-the-scenes pics. Plus, Kendrick Lamar popped up during Prince’s album release concert at his Paisley Park studio. Get your music fix inside…

 photo kdt6.png

MMG head honcho Rick Ross trekked it to Atlanta to shoot the visuals for his track “Keep Doing That (Rich Chick) featuring R&B legend R. Kelly. “Keep Doing That” is Rozay’s lead single for his upcoming album Hood Billionaire (November 24th).

R. Kelly, Young Jeezy, Jermaine Dupri, DJ Khaled and model chick Jessica White make appearances in the video, shooting from a mansion in Buckhead. Looks like Jessica will be playing (at least one of) Rozay's "rich chicks".

 photo kdt2.png

Along with the lavish furs and unlimited cigars, there was also plenty of bubbly on deck. The Black Bottle Girls were on hand to pour up the Belaire Rosé.

 photo kdt4.png

Ross and Jermaine Dupri stopped for a photo-op in all white in between takes.

Young Jeezy made sure to grab his own personal bottle of bubbly. Sure he could use a drink considering his recent legal woes. Bishop T.D. Jakes has filed a lawsuit against him (and Kendrick Lamar) after they sampled a speech made by the pastor for their "Holy Ghost" remix.

 photo kdt7.png

Then DJ Khaled hopped in on the group shot. 

 

And during a Prince concert...

The Purple One kicked off two new albums, Art Official and his band 3RDEYEGIRL’s PLECTRUMELECTRUM, with a concert at his Paisley Park studio in Minneapolis yesterday. And who does he tap to surprise his fans? “I” rapper Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick hit the stage for a surprise performance on the rare track “What’s My Name” from Prince’s 1998 album, Crystal Ball.

The 20-minute Prince concert streamed live on Yahoo!, which also included a behind-the-scenes tour of the 65,000 square foot studio. Nice!

Check it above.
 

BONUS:

 

Diddy had a moment after watching his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez shake her donk in her new video “Booty” featuring Iggy Azalea.

During a promo run for Revolt TV's upcoming music conference, he sat down with Access Hollywood Live and gave his honest opinion about his ex-boo’s new vid. He said,

"Oh my God, oh my God! I am so lucky to have that great woman in my history. She is one of the greatest I've ever seen. Go girl!"

He goes on to say the 45-year-old singer’s “ass”ets are a body of work and that Kim K parts have nothing on JLo.

He said,

"[Her booty] is great. It's a work of art. It's something that will go down in history. Also her talent, her drive, her determination," he added. "She will never give up. She's a great friend of mine... that thing is just incredible.”

When asked if Kim Kardashian's butt lives up to J.Lo's, Diddy responded with an emphatic "no way!"

Well alright.

Porsha Williams' OFFICIAL STATEMENT On "RHOA" Demotion, Says She Was BLINDSIDED And Will FOCUS On Her NEW Relationship

 photo posefefeef.png

Ex-RHOA star Porsha Williams is speaking out about her demotion, saying she was blindsided by the announcement.  Read her statement inside about her next steps and new beau.

 

After two-years as a peach-holding housewife on Bravo's RHOA, Porsha Williams is setting her sights on her new gig at DISH NATION and her new relationship. But first....she released a statement about Bravo dropping her as a castmember.

After a long season of filming, and giving my all, I was blindsided by the announcement from the network that I was demoted from ‘Housewife Status,’ but would remain on the show in a ‘Friend’ capacity,”

Porsha also mentioned her new relationship, saying she'll be "taking baby steps towards nurturing my relationship with my new love!!!" 

Aha!  We sensed that the term "baby steps" references a pic she posted on Instagram (and deleted) of Philadelphia Eagles star LeSean McCoy which she captioned "#baby steps."  Congrats on your new boo!

Here's her statement she released via her day job at Dish Nation:

"This is not an easy time for me right now, but I want let everyone to know that I loved being a ‘Housewife’ on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and I am thankful for Bravo for the opportunity but it’s not goodbye, you will see me on the show throughout the season sharing and bonding with the other women and I promise to stay connected with my fans as I start an exciting new time in my life.

After a long season of filming, and giving my all, I was blindsided by the announcement from the network that I was demoted from ‘Housewife Status,’ but would remain on the show in a ‘Friend’ capacity.

Unfortunately, I can only be PORSHA, and portraying anything else, would not be genuine nor honest. This moment is bittersweet, but God has been so amazing to me, and I think this is a perfect time for me to spread my wings, and finally focus on all of my upcoming projects.

In addition to having my recurring role on RHOA, I will be able to focus my attention on my career as an Entertainment Correspondent on DISH NATION on the Fox Network, recording my album, building my businesses, and taking baby steps towards nurturing my relationship with my new love!!!

This is the beginning of a new chapter in my life, and I will be giving my fans & supporters another chance to watch my growth as I take on the world in my own special way very soon!! I am so Thankful for all that #TEAMPORSHA does to keep me INSPIRED every day! Stay Tuned…

Earlier this week, Porsha also posted a photo of herself wearing an oxygen mask.  But she's ok.  A statement from Dish Nation said she was "...simply feeling under the weather and tried to nip it in the bud by seeing a doctor for treatment." 

 

Hmm...it's odd that RHOA would kick Porsha to the curb now. She finally has a storyline!  On Twitter, RHOA star NeNe Leakes tweeted that she'll miss Porsha.

Lil Kim is busy making her rounds promoting her new mixtape Hardcore 2K14. And yesterday, she made a stop at “106 & Park” to chop it up with guest hosts Ray J and Bow Wow’s fiancée.

As you know, Ray J and Kimmy are good friends. Remember when he hit the stage with Kim in 2010 to throw shots at Nicki Minaj when their beef first ignited? Yeah…so of course, they asked about her ongoing feud with the Head Barb.

 photo kim1062.png

On the heels of her very candidinterview with the Breakfast Club, Kim told Ray J that the only way she would do a collaboration with Nicki (along with Remy Ma) is if the money is right. She said,

“The Nicki situation can not be fixed unless it’s financial involved because it’s deeper than that. People don’t know the situation, I was over there working with them. The song “No Worries” that was my producer who produced that song. I introduced him, I brought him over there into that camp. They took everything from me.”

Kimmy also talked about her baby girl Royal Reign (debuting a cute new pic of her), motherhood and her mixtape Hardcore 2K14.

And before she left, Kim went into the audience to greet her fans and snap pics:

Seattle Seahawks star quarterback Russell Wilson is making some impressive passes off of the football field in an effort to help end domestic violence.

To kick off Domestic Violence Awareness Month (October), the Super Bowl winning QB has created the Why Not You Foundation. And for his first initiative, he has decided to help raise funds and awareness for a worthy cause. And it's definitely a plus that he's taking the lead in an organazation currently at the forefront of unfortuante domestic violence news.

He launched the “Pass the Peace” challenge to help support victims of domestic violence. With all of the controversy and negative media attention the NFL has received surrounding players and domestic violence, it’s nice to see other NFL players tackling the issue head on.

Russell penned an editorial for The Players Tribune (recently launched by Derek Jeter), where he summarizes his vision for his new initiative and how he plans to spread the word. He writes,

I’ve recently launched the “Why Not You Foundation” where I’ll be raising funds and awareness for a number of worthy causes. It’s a place where I plan to give back, and for my first initiative, I want us to Pass the Peace to support victims of domestic violence. The idea behind Pass the Peace is simple: It’s a promise. I’m sharing my love for you. I want to take care of you. I am here for you.

Much like the ALS Challenge, Russell is “passing the peace” to recently retired New York Yankees player Derek Jeter and singer Justin Timberlake to launch his new challenge.

In his essay, he also talked about being a bully growing up and how he changed for the better through his faith. He mentioned domestic violence is much bigger than the NFL and that the longer we ignore the elephant in the room, the longer it will exist.  His words:

 

I used to beat people up. Truthfully, I used to beat people up a lot. Many of you readers probably think I have been Mr. Goody Two-Shoes my whole life, but honestly, I was a bully growing up.

I had a lot of anger that I didn’t know what to do with. Thankfully, I was saved by my faith when I was 14 years old, and was able to start living for others instead of just myself.

This issue is much bigger than NFL suspensions. Domestic violence isn’t going to disappear tomorrow or the next day. But the more that we choose not to talk about it, the more we shy away from the issue, the more we lose.

I can’t fix the world. I can’t fix the NFL. I can’t change the guys around me. The only person I can change is the one in the mirror. I’m not a perfect person by any means. I’m just a recovering bully. But if we start being honest about our pain, our anger, and our shortcomings instead of pretending they don’t exist, then maybe we’ll leave the world a better place than we found it. For those of us in the NFL, there’s no excuse for violence off the field.
 

We applaud his efforts for attempting to make a difference and hope that it helps bring awareness to the issue. 

Now, what happens when they pass the peace to Ray Rice or Greg Hardy?

A new season of “Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars” is coming. And it’s bringing the marital issues between “R&B Divas” star Syleena Johnson and her husband Kiwane Garris along with “Bad Girls Club” star Natalie Nunn and her husband Jacob Payne. Deets inside…

After an explosive season of “Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars” featuring “BFV” star Traci Braxton and her husband Kevin and "Bad Girls Club" star Tanisha Thomas with her hubby Clive, a new season has just gotten the greenlight.

This upcoming season will feature “R&B Divas Atlanta” star Syleena Johnson (who coincidentally has a new album titled Couples Therapy dropping Oct. 27th) and her husband Kiwane Garris, along with “Bad Girls Club” Natalie Nunn and her husband Jacob Payne.  Yep, Natalie is still married.

Other couples include “The Hills” stars Heidi Montag& Spencer Pratt (that should be priceless TV in itself), “Real Housewives of New York” stars Aviva& Reid Drescher, and “Survivor” castaways Tyson Apostol& Rachel Foulger.  Mostly, folks who need reality tv to keep a check.

In a press release for the upcoming season, it describes the show as:

In this season of ‘Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars’ husband and wife duo Jim and Elizabeth Carroll along with co-directors, Ilsa and David, will push these reality star couples to their limits, physically and emotionally. There will be NO special treatment for this group as the couples will be forced to face demons from their past that are still affecting them now, and in turn, suffocating their relationships. Tough love tactics will peel back the layers of what makes these reality stars tic, as well as what is driving their marriages to the brink of disaster. Each episode delves deeper into the mind fields of what’s destroying their relationships using exercises like: Divorce Court where a judge dismantles their marriages first hand causing things to get emotional and ugly as dark marital wounds and secrets are revealed in the court room. In the end, the couples will answer the ultimate questions: Is their marriage worth saving or are they better off apart?

Syleena and Kiwane (who have two sons, Kiwane Jr.& Kingston) are battling to find a balance between Syleena’s career and being in the spotlight vs. family life at home with their children. Kiwane, a former NBA baller, is having a hard time adjusting to being a stay-at-home-dad. And when he tries to voice his opinions to his reality star wife, she shuts him down. Will her career destroy their relationship?

Natalie and her husband Jacob Payne (who calls himself a professional football player, despite there being no record of him playing football for the NFL, but maybe an arena league) are having issues supporting one another’s “careers”.

Although he doesn’t play professionally in the U.S., it appears Jacob plays professional football overseas. So we did a little digging and found his name listed on the roster of a European website that helps players and coaches find American football teams in Europe. Problem is…he’s still not on a team’s roster. On his profile under current team it says: “CURRENTLY WAITING TO SIGN 2013 (Other)” Hmph.

Natalie is over supporting his football dreams. Meanwhile, Jacob is fed up over Natalie’s provocative Instagram pics and how much time she spends on social media. Which is, coincidentally, what probably caught his eye in the first place.  Sighs…

We can expect these couples to bring the drama on WEtv early 2015. So….will you be watching?

Raven Symone sat down with Oprah to reflect on her start in Hollywood and reveal how she avoided the tabloid donwfalls of other child actors.  Watch the preview inside and see what Jennifer Hudson revealed about a third "Sex And The City" installment.  

 

Fun fact you may have already known:  For a brief period, Raven Symone and Lindsay Lohan were roommates.  Armed with that information, ask youself why we NEVER saw Raven falling out of the club drunk, arrested for DUI or naked on Twitter? 

On the next installment of "Oprah Where Are They Now", Raven opens up about avoiding tabloid headlines and Hollywood's dark side.

It's unnecessary to go to the most popular restaurant in the world when you have a scandal on your head and then get mad that someone's gonna take a picture of you. That's your fault, Boo-Boo. Stay in the house."

Raven also gets candid about her sexuality. You'll recall that a tweet about gay marriage went viral and had many folks calling it her "coming out" moment. She told Oprah,

“My parents taught me to keep my private life private to the best of my ability," she says.

Oh.  Catch "Oprah Where Are They Now" this Sunday, October 5th on OWN.

 

Coming Soon?

While out promoting her new album JHUD, "It's Your World" singer Jennifer Hudson stopped by Dish Nation where she revealed there MIGHT be an SATC 3 in the works!  When asked about Sex and The City, JHUD (who appeared in the first installment as Sarah Jessia Parker's assistant) said,

“I think it might be [happening]. Somebody just came to me talking about that. So if it’s in talks, it might happen. So look for it. ”

Jennifer also cleared up any rumors of a rift with Beyonce. “That’s a misconception. Beyonce is the sweetest, shyest person ever. When we all in the room she’s sitting there chillin’.”

Are you excited about the SATC3 possiblity?  We are!

 

EXTRAS:

1.  Rihanna will perform in Washington, DC at The Concert For Valor in honor of America's Veterans on 11/11, airing live on HBO.

How did Beyonce and Jay Z spend today in their fave city? Parisian photographers spotted the Carters visiting some of the most luxurious real estate options available.

Beyonce, Jay and Blue Ivy (in a pretty pink dress) hit up a residence located near Elysee Palace, where the President of France lives.  We'd totally expect the Carters to live in the same neighborhood as the president...

And it looks like they've been living it up...with no plans to return home to New York anytime soon.

Beyonce posted a few snap shots from the Carter family sightseeing jaunt around the city, including this gorgeous shot of The Eiffel Tower.

The Carters were also seen looking for homes in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. Perhaps the billion dollar couple are looking to snap up a few properties around the world?

Bey also shared pics from the family trip to the Musée du quai Branly, which displays the indigenous art of Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas.  Fab!

UH-OH: Fantasia’s Baby Daddy Reportedly FILES For Custody Of 13-Year-Old Daughter Zion + Tank ARRESTED For Allegedly Disobeying An Officer

The father of Fantasia Barrino’s 13-year-old daughter has filed for custody of Zion. Yep...13 years later. Get the deets inside…

No stranger to living her relationship troubles in the public eye, Fantasia Barrino is now headed to juvenile domestic court.

Her daughter Zion's father is gunning for custody of the 13-year-old. Yes…13 years later. And according to Fanny’s rep, he hasn’t provided any financial support in the 13 years since she’s been alive, so we’re a bit confused as to why he would be asking for custody, if true.

Since becoming a public figure, the “American Idol” winner has always shared the struggle of being a single mother. But now it seems he’s ready to step up…or is he only looking for a check?

In an official statement sent to RumorFix via Fanny’s rep, Zion's father Brandel J. Shouse has filed for custody of Zion in Meckleburg, North Carolina and is requesting not only custody, but visitation and child support!

The statement reads:

“Fantasia Barrino is currently involved in a Child Custody, Visitation, and Child Support legal proceeding filed in Mecklenburg, North Carolina. The lawsuit was filed by Brandel J. Shouse, the father of Fantasia’s 13-year-old daughter Zion. Despite living in North Carolina, Mr. Shouse had very little personal contact with Zion and has provided no financial support for her. The case will not be heard until 2015. Fantasia is confident that legal process will move forward smoothly and that the Court will make a decision that is in the best interest of Zion.”

"Fantasia hopes that her fans understand the sensitive nature of these matters and that she cannot share with them all of the details at this time. Fantasia also knows that all of her ‘Baby Mama’ fans know exactly what she is going though and will support her as she continues to take wonderful and complete care of her daughter.”

Brandel was Fantasia’s first love and they reportedly dated for five years. The relationship allegedly turned abusive and they soon called it quits in 2003.

We find it interesting these reports surface just days after she gushed all over Instagram about her new boyfriend Kendall Taylor. You’ll noticed she even gave a shout out to her ex-lover Antwaun Cook for being a good father…but there was no love given to Brandel. Is he mad?

 

And in other legal news....

 photo tankjail.png

R&B singer Tank has been arrested and it all stems from him using his cell phone behind the wheel. According to reports, cops pulled the sexy singer over for using his phone while driving around Van Nuys area in L.A.

That’s against the law in Cali, so when he was pulled over the police officers asked for his driver’s license. He refused to hand it over, so they booked him and charged him with failure to obey an officer.

He’s currently still behind bars.

Story developing…
