With three albums under her belt, millions of records sold and numerous industry accolades, it's hard to imagine that Nicki Minaj has never landed a coveted ROLLING STONES cover - until now.  We were tipped off about Nicki's most recent feat via Instagram after a sneak peek was uploaded today.  Now that's how you start 2015!

Geez...Safaree just can't seem to get a break.  We're sure it's difficult to get over your ex-girlfriend while she's killing it on the newsstands.  He should have stuck to their"agreement" and played his position!

 

In new castings.....

Actor Mike Colter just landed one of the most coveted titles in Hollywood...super hero!  The 38-year-old actor, who's made a name for himself as drug lord Lemond Bishop in "The Good Wife" and David, a witch hunter in "American Horror Story: Coven", has been cast as Luke Cage, a black super hero in Marvel Comic's upcoming Netflix series.  Created in 1972 by Archie Goodwin and John Romita Sr., the character paid homage to pioneering blaxploitation film characters like Shaft. 

The "Luke Cage" series is set to debut on Netflix in 2015 and will feature 13-episodes as part of a larger series of Marvel comic characters. According to reports, Luke Cage will be joined by Charlie Cox as Matt Murdoch in Daredevil, Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones and an as-yet-unnamed actor who'll play Iron Fist. All four characters will star in their own series and each will feature some overlap with one another.  After each series has aired, the four characters will then combine for a separate mini-series.

Congrats to Mike! It looks like he'll be cashing Netflix checks well into 2016. Not a bad way to end 2014!

Gabrielle Union Talks BABY FEVER & Living Below Her Means In UPTOWN Magazine + Lupita Nyong’o THANKS Her Fans For Their Support In 2014

Gabrielle Union opens up about one day becoming a mother. But unfortunately, the YBF chick is having a hard time conceiving. Find out what she said about one day having a baby and living well below her means in UPTOWN’s latest issue. Also, peep the thank-you note Lupita Nygong’o penned for her fans inside….

You’ve seen the uber fierce magazine cover. Now get up close and personal with Gabrielle Union in her new cover story for UPTOWN magazine.

For the December/January 2015 issue, the 42-year-old YBF chick (above in a sexy black one-shouldered Gucci dress) opens up about the challenges she has faced while trying to conceive her own child with her Miami Heat baller husband Dwyane Wade.

The Top Five star reveals she often catches baby fever and would love to one day become a mother, but unfortunately, her body hasn’t quite caught up with her mind and heart. She dished,

“I think my brain and my heart are screaming baby fever. My ovaries, however, they’re coughing up dust. Yes, it’s in my heart and in my mind, and we’ll see if my body catches up with that.”

The “Being Mary Jane” star became step-mom to Dwayne’s two sons Zion& Zaire (and his son Xavier, the child he had while they were on a break) after marrying D.Wade this summer, but she has yet to fulfill her dream of having a child of her own. She spilled,

“I have really awesome stepkids, so I feel equally as fulfilled. I’ve lasted 42 years without having a human being come from one of my orifices and I feel okay and fulfilled and happy. If it does happen, it’s a miracle—a medical miracle at least. I mean, we’d love to. We’ll see what my ovaries say. Cause right now they’re taking Geritol.”

The Sensationail spokeswoman also talked about living well below her means to ensure she’s financially stable in case anything drastic happens. The actress reveals she would still be able to afford the lifestyle she lives today even if her career ended tomorrow. She said,

“I live so far below my means that if the career was taken away, I could get a job based on my level of education and my job skills, and I could still afford what I have. I plan ahead for the destruction, my financial ruin. I might borrow some hot shit, but you’re gonna come to my house and be like, ‘What happened to that dope bag that cost as much as a home?’ I borrow that. I give it right back.”

Ok Gabby!

After one of the most amazing years EVER, Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o is giving thanks to all those who have supported her in 2014.

The Kenyan beauty has had one impeccable year after so many incredible opportunities. She won her first Academy Award for her role in the award winning film, 12 Years A Slave. The Yale School of Drama graduate will also be starring in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens film. PEOPLE magazine named her the Most Beautiful Person, she has slayed countless magazine covers and ad campaigns, AND she’s producing a new indie drama Americanah. Work!
 

Through it all, her fans have been right by her side, so she penned a special “thank-you” to each and every one. She wrote,  

This year was one of a kind,
And a kind one to me.
There was lots to be done,
And a whole lot to see.
I had family and friends,
And colleagues galore,
Now I have fans,
Plus a million and four!
You tweet and you post,
And you instagram too.
You chat, comment, draw,
You just do what you do.
And though I don't answer 'Cause time is a-tickin', Know that you matter
By the posts that I'm pickin'. I keep posting 'Cause I know that you care,
And I care to post
When I know that you're there.
So this season,
Though I know your name not,
I'm happy I got you,
And that I gave what you got.
I wish for you peace,
Love, joy, laughter beams,
And in the new year,
May you live out your dreams!
(And as Dr. Seuss says:)
"If things start happening,
don't worry, don't stew,
just go right along
and you'll start happening too." Love, Lupita N.
 

Aww...so sweet.

GOOD GIRL GONE BAD: Cardinals Fan Jordin Sparks FLIPS THE MIDDLE FINGER At A Seahawks Fan!

Jordin Sparks sang the National Anthem at this week's Seahawks vs. Cardinals game, but her sideline behavior was less than patriotic.  Watch her give a Seattle Seahawks fan the one-fingered salute inside...

 

 

 photo 1223-jordin-sparks-main-sports-1.jpg

Arizona gal Jordin Sparks is a diehard Cardinals fan so naturally, she was tapped to sing "The Star Spangled Banner" at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale this past weekend. While her performance was smooth, her off-field behavior could be considered less than patriotic, or it could be considered all-American...depending on who you ask.

Apparently, a Seahawks fan decided to engage in some trash talking with the "#ByeFelicia" singer and she waved him off...with her middle finger! (We kinda love this slight bad girl behavior from little Miss Jordin.) 

Unfortunately, the Cardinals couldn't backup Jordin's trash talking. They lost to the Seahawks (35-6).

In her defense, Jordin could have been irritated.   She revealed that she was under the weather via Instagram saying, "#stadiumselfie Right before the anthem! Now, I'm in my seats w/ my family, some tea & meds. I can't believe any type of voice came out but I wasn't going to miss this game!! Go @azcardinals!! #AZPride #RiseUpRedSea".

We bet that "fan" will think twice before trying to come for "Sparkle" next time though.....

It's Santa Warbucks!  Rapper Young Jeezy pulled out all the stops for 100 kids in Atlanta -- and it involved toys and "Annie".  Plus, Dwyane Wade catered to the Miami Heat staff for the Holidays, literally.  Pics and deets inside....

Jeezy loves the kids!  Yesterday, he and his Street Dreams Foundation put a new spin on their annual holiday give back event. We're told they've been planning this big event for seven years, and the "Annie" movie was the perfect add-in.

This year, Jeezy and co. hosted approximately 100 inner city, at need kids selected by Marine Toys for Tots ranging in ages 7-14.  And they were all from his hometown of Macon as well as Hawkinsville.

 photo jtoys1_zps17a40172.jpg

 photo jtoys3_zpsd496e383.jpg

The kiddies got the royal treatment during their fun filled day. First, a private movie screening to see “Annie” followed by an afternoon of food and gifts at popular restaurant Gio’s. Since there was room at the theater for more people, Jeezy started offering to other moviegoers to come see the film on him. And he had a packed house.

And down in Miami:

Heat baller Dwyane Wade made sure to take care of those who take care of him all year long.  The star called in a yummy food truck and helped served food to the Miami Heat team staff outside the arena yesterday.  Now THAT'S a lunch break.

He said:

Taking care of those who always take care of me. Much love and appreciation to my @miamiheat family. Shout out to @latinburger and @mscheezious for their help on this one. #lunchisserved #HappyHolidays #HeatLifer

Sweet!  D-Wade and the Heat take on former teammate LeBron and his Cavs on Christmas Day.  Should be a good one!

2 Chainz hosted his 5th Annual Street Execs Christmas Concert last night with support from TI and The Hustle Gang. Find out what good deeds they performed inside...

 photo beatsb1.jpg

 photo greent5.jpg

2 Chainz is certainly a rapper with a chest heart full of gold. Last night, he hosted his 5th Annual Street Execs Christmas Concert in Atlanta at the Tabernacle.

 photo beatsb10.jpg

In addition to hitting the stage with some of his music industy friends, he made a Make A Wish recipient's dream come true. We're a little concerned that a very little boy's wish was to meet 2 Chainz, but nonetheless...

 photo beatsb2.jpg

 photo beatsb9.jpg

In addition to displaying his latest collection of gold chains (sidebar: we counted at least 4), "2" Chainz passed out toys and gifts to parents in the audience. 

 photo beatbs8.jpg

  photo beatsb3.jpg

Atlanta native TI put down his thesaurus and got off Twitter long enough to hit the stage and get the crowd rocking.

His grey-eyed wife Tiny cheered him on from the sidelines.

The charitable evening was completed by Young Dro and Hustle Gang.  We love when rappers are do-gooders. Nice!

 

BONUS:

Prior to the concert, 2 Chainz and his crew hit the streets of ATL with two U-Haul trucks full of toys to give away to deserving kids. Well....some of the toys weren't up to par, apparently. Watch what happended when he "dared" to give a kid a toy flip phone. He clearly expected the new iPhone.

Looks like they're gearing up for a "friendstastic" Christmas. We know how they get down for the Holidays.

Rapper Tyga went on a solo shopping trip to Barney’s in Beverly Hills yesterday. We’re surprised his homie-lover-friend Kylie Jenner wasn’t tagging along, but we’re sure they’ll link up soon since it seems the two have been enjoying each other’s company during the holiday season.

 photo bluerih3.jpg

In music news...the "Make It Work" rapper was suppose to release his Gold Album yesterday, but unfortunately for him and his fans, it has been delayed yet again. But, if you're a fan, don't fret. He annouced he will be releasing his new LP on January 27th.

After a controversial and sometimes embarrassing turn on "LAHH Hollywood", Ray J is putting his reality tv woes behind him (until season 2 starts). He and his boo Princess Love were spotted out and about in Beverly Hill last night.  Looks like frenemy Morgan may be out of the picture...for now.

Prior to their outing last night, Ray J did some image rehab as he served on the host committee for the #UnitedForJustice fundraiser in honor of Eric Garner.   And a few days ago, he and his mom Sonja Norwoodhosted a Christmas Gala benefitting the LATTC Foster Care/Guardian Scholars Program.  Hmm....we wonder if Mona Scott rolled the cameras on that....

Meanwhile, Princess Love is focusing on her clothing line and spending less time acting as Ray J's attack dog.  We hope it's successful for her...it's a much better look than attacking Morgan Hardman.

Jay Z turned 45 earlier this month. And to celebrate, The Carters jetted to Iceland for some frosty family fun in the snow. Peep Beyonce, Jay Z and Blue Ivy'swinter wonderland pics inside….

It was a snow-filled birthday for Jay Z’s 45th, celebrated on Dec. 4th. Instead of trekking it to a sunny island for the birthday festivities (like they did for Bey's 33rd), The Carters pulled out their snow gear for some wintertime fun in Iceland.

The "7/11" singer rounded up a group of their close friends for a celebratory dinner at the super luxe Trophy Lodge resort for the rap mogul’s milestone birthday, complete with a surprise birthday cake.

 photo icej1.jpg

 photo icej22.jpg

Hip Hop’s royal couple then stripped down to their swimsuits to relax in the amazing Blue Lagoon Geothermal Spa in the Nordic country. And the twosome had a little fun in front of the cameras throwing up the "Roc".

 photo icej15.jpg

Bey in her B-Boy stance! Cute.

 photo icej3.jpg

Then the Carters hopped on a helicopter to explore the beauty of the volcanic island. We hear they flew over the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, which caused a huge disruption to air travel after it erupted in 2010, and the Holuhraun eruption.

 photo icej5.jpg

And of course, little Blue Ivy was there for the breathtaking experience.

 photo icejj25.jpg

To continue their wintry getaway, the married couple hopped on a snow mobile to race through the snowy terrain.

 photo icej20.jpg

Even in Iceland, Bey, Hov and their friends made a statement against police brutality posing in the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" pose before their excursion.

 photo icejj30.jpg

 photo icej13.jpg

And what better way to keep the party going than toasting it up in the snow with the one you're madly in love with.

 photo icejj11.jpg

During their vacation, it wasn't all happy moments. You'll recall, Bey's bestie Kelly Rowland was dealing with the passing of her mother. Kelly's mom Doris Rowland Garrison passed a day before Jay's birthday.

 photo icejj10.jpg

The "No Angel" singer was all smiles as she rolled around in the snow.

And the couple threw up the Dynasty Sign (once again) with an incredible waterfall as their back drop. FAB times!

For one of the first times on television, serious attention is paid to questions like "Do "Light Girls" have social advantages?  Easier lives? Are light-skinned children treated differently?

The documentary explores skin color from historical, sociological, psychological and scientific perspectives, and will include interviews with Soledad O'Brien, Diahann Carroll, India Arie, Iyanla Vanzant, Michaela Angela Davis, Kym Whitley, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Russell Simmons and more.

These two just can't seem to get enough of one another. Chris Brown and his ex(?)-girlfriend Karrueche Tran were spotted leaving a nightclub in L.A. early this morning. Hmm...are they back on?! Peep the video receipt inside....

After the way Chris BrownBLASTED his ex(?)-girlfriend Karrueche in an eye-brow raising Instagram rant (accusing her of cheating with Drake), one would think these two would have definitely called it quits. Or not…since they always seem to get back together.

Well…it seems their latest break-up is no different. In the wee hours of the morning, Karrueche and Chris were spotted walking out of Playhouse nightclub together in L.A.

Right before Christmas, Kae (who recently signed on with Wilhelmina Models) was busy hosting a toy drive at the Hollywood hotspot. So maybe Breezy stopped by to drop off a few toys? Or maybe he was busy trying to win his chick back. Looks like he may have gained a few brownie points.

The two, surrounded by security, were seen leaving the building together, but it appears they got into separate cars. Mmmhmm….

Peep their exit below:

Beyonce's Xmas present to the Beyhive (whether it was her official doing or not) was a "7/11" remix featuring French Montana.  Unwrap it inside...

 

The Christmas presents keep on coming!  Fans who purchased the BEYONCÉ: Platinum Edition disc a few weeks ago were treated to a booty-clapping track named "7/11" that undoubtedly got several holiday parties crunk this season. Now, the track gets the "remix" treatment with French Montana!  

Meanwhile, Beyonce spent her Xmas holiday in Dubai & Thailand and then Iceland earlier this month, but thankfully, this new "7/11" remix breathes fire. Enjoy....

Lou Williams, a star shooting guard for the Toronto Raptors is about to change the game, because "cheating" is so last season.  Peep the photos inside of Lou creating a peaceful co-existence with his two girlfriends.

 photo image-78.jpg

If you've never heard of Lou Williams, grab a pen and take notes because his LouWillVille lifestyle may become some dude's "blueprint." It's worth noting that Lou is one of the top players in the Eastern Conference and he signed a 3-year contract for $15M, which pays him $5,225,000 a year. Outside of his wealth, his lifestyle is raising eyebrows because he parades around two chicks who go by the nicknames Brown (Rece Mitchell) and Blonde (Ashley Henderson).

The threesome (shown above in an Instagram candid) are one big menage-a-trois of fun.

 photo image-77.jpg

Over the holidays he hosted a party at the gorgeous Le Fais Do-Do venue in midtown Atlanta, where guests enjoyed a night of music, entertainment and spirit sponsor Luc Belaire.  But here's the best part.....he hosted with his TWO girlfriends, Brown and Blonde.  And the chicks are all on-board with how it goes down. 

 photo image-76.jpg

On her Instagram, Rece posted this about her sister wife , "The one that makes me smile when I'm down. Calls me beautiful when I look like shit. My partna .. Nothing but love @thee_ashdash #Louwillvillexmas"

 photo image-75.jpg

No cat fights here...

 photo image-74.jpg 

Reportedly, Lou has been very open about loving two women and has supposedly said he asked them if they would be down fora triangle style relationship since he was in love with them both.  And since everybody's all down for the fun, who are we to judge? *JUDGING*

 photo image-71.jpg

In addition to Ciara the Painter, a renown Atlanta artist who provided beautiful holiday themed full body art, the party was attended by Mike Scott of the Atlanta Hawks, ATL hip hop artist K Camp, rap group Travis Porter, super producer Drumma BoY, MMG artist Tracy T and others.

 photo image-70.jpg

We already know why Lou has a smile on his face!  He's living the posible dream life of som men.  It's what Stevie J was trying to pull off on "LAHH ATL"....everybody get on the bus!

 photo image-72.jpg

After the party, the ladies (and perhaps a few others) spent the Xmas holidays with Lou as well.  Chile...

This will be the first Christmas folks aren't saying about one of Atlanta's popular couples,"Why doesn't he marry her?"  Because Ludacris popped the question to long time girlfriend Eudoxie on Friday.  Pics and the sweet deets inside...

 photo ScreenShot2014-12-26at110340PM_zps80af3e9c.png

Look who's up next on the wedding deck after Kevin Hart & Eniko's big engagement....Ludacris and his gorgeous girlfriend Eudoxie!

Ludacris pulled off a super sweet mile-high secret mission and had his proposal spelled out in open land that the couple flew over Friday on their way to their vacay spot.

It read, "Eudoxie, Will You Marry Me".  And from the looks of the pic from inside their private jet, she was on cloud 9.  Luda posted the pic saying, "She didn't say Yes, she said Hell yes!".

 photo ScreenShot2014-12-26at110326PM_zpsecd59eb2.png

Right before the big proposal, Luda & his now bride-to-be hopped aboard a private plane to take a couples trip to Costa Rica with their crew.  And even Luda's "break baby" wasn't going to break these two up....it seems to have actually brought them closer.  If it works for them....

 photo ScreenShot2014-12-26at111237PM_zps2340751f.png

And who do we have here but Letoya Luckett and her new boo?  The one she only halfway unveiled on IG while holding hands at Art Basel this month? The man in the pics on her right is producer Jo Blaque.   Letoya unveiled her possible mystery man for the world to see as they posed it up in fun pics along with Monica & Shannon Brown, Luda and Eudoxie, and Mario Andretti and Marta Krupa (RHOMiami star Joanna Krupa's sister).  Cute!

Monica and Shannon looked ready for some rest and relaxation.

And the crew posed it up inside the plane.  We have a feeling everyone was in on the secret....

Check out Monica's video right before takeoff.

Congrats to Luda & Eudoxie!

CHRISTMAS REUNIONS: Chris Brown & Karrueche BACK ON For The Holidays + Kim & Kanye Have North Visit Santa + Mel B Reunited With Husband Stephen

This Christmas was all about the reunions.  Chris Brown and Karrueche are back on (sigh) possibly thanks to a few pets and diamonds, Mel B. and husband Stephan Belafonte seem to be moving forward after domestic abuse allegations and Kim& Kanye spend the Holiday together after plety of time apart and take North to meet Santa!

 

Despite us holding out hope that Karrueche Tran actually smartened up this time after THIS FOOLISHNESS from Chris that was nothing short of disrespectful and embarrassing, she's back in Chris' life.  We first spotted them partying it up together on the low a couple weeks ago.

The breakup that lasted all of two minutes seem to be nothing but a cloud of smoke once Chris bought a stuffed bear (above) that his homie revealed was for Kae.  And also a few other gifts that MAY be from Chris: a new puppy and diamond rings:

 photo 2448571100000578-2888179-image-a-77_1419656584689_zpsed366bb1.jpg

Sigh.  Interestingly enough, Chris and Kae were spotted walking in L.A. yesterday together with their new pup.  (Get those pics HERE.)  And Kae was emphatically covering up her hand....to cover up the rings she already showed off on Instagram?  Hmph.

To each their own...

Elsewhere in L.A., married couple Kanye and Kim West spent Christmas together amidst rumors that they're having trouble conceiving a second child.  The twosome was spotted leaving their monthly doctors appointment this week and Kim looked upset.  But it seems her daughter North (and Kanye actually being in town for once) brightened up things:

 photo ScreenShot2014-12-27at101314AM_zps7b871912.png

Kim posted the above pic of North meeting Santa Clause at her mom's annual Christmas Eve party and said:

North is still warming up to Santa. The same Santa has come to my moms Christmas Eve party since I was a kid. I love sharing the tradition with my baby girl! hope everyone had the best Christmas

And, of course, she snapped pics with her hubby and bestie Jonathan plus North and North's auntie Kendall:

Also in L.A., Mel B seems to have put aside all the drama with husband Stephen Belafonte to reunite with their kids on Christmas:

 photo ScreenShot2014-12-27at90328AM_zps808c6b26.png 

They snapped a family pic that Mel tagged as #familytime.  Meanwhile, an account that is supposedly 14-year-old Phoenix Chi's tweeted a response to the accusations that her stepfather committed domestic abuse against her mother:

"Can everyone just chill he didn't hit my mom don't know how that stupid rumur came up".

It has not been confirmed that this is her account, and the account is now inactive.  But is it possible even this family pic does not mean Mel & Stephen have totally reunited?

Time will tell....

Well what do we have here?  While Diddy's girlfriend Cassie is spending the Holidays elsewhere, his children's mother/ex is getting the BAE treatment.  Check out Diddy, the kids and Kim vacaying it up in St. Barths for the annual Holiday togetherness...

As Diddy played Santa Clause on Christmas Day, the mother of 4 of his kids (twins Jessie & D'Lila, Christian and also Quincy) was not left out of the gifting fun.  While the entire family was aboard Diddy's yacht in St. Barths this week, Kim and Diddy fell back into their very flirty ways.   This isn't their first time doing so either.  They also hosted a NYE bash together two years ago.

Kim copped some gifts from her ex and her kids, plus she as spotted getting THISCLOSE with some sensual foot action with Diddy as they laid out together under the sun.  (Check those pics HERE.)

Diddy also played around with the newest craze -- the Selfie Stick -- and snapped pics with his sons and daughters (including Chance):

Quincy and Christian even caught up with Ming Lee Simmons who is also in St. Barths with her mom Kimora, dad Russell and stepdad Tim.

Fun times.  We can only wonder if Cassie will ever get invited to the family Holidays....
