Jennifer Hudson & Ne-Yo stopped by "American Idol" last night to perform "Think Like A Man."  Watch the clip inside.....

"American Idol" alum Jennifer Hudson returned to the show last night to perform "Think Like A Man" with Ne-Yo.  The song is off the soundtrack to the upcoming movie Think Like A Man.  Jennifer tweeted earlier this week that Rick Ross--who is also on the track--was supposed to be performing as well.  But unconfirmed rumors yesterday said that he suffered a third seizure and has now been banned from flying for his health's sake.  We wonder if that's why he missed last night's performance.

Watch the performance here:

EXTRAS:

Last week, Newark Mayor Cory Booker ran into a burning building, next door to his home, to save a neighbor's life.

After seeing his next-door neighbor's house on fire, he ran inside and rescued a young woman trapped upstairs. 

He said, "It is a very, very scary thing. And I'd like to say that I, at that point I was feeling so courageous, but honestly, it was terrifying, and to look back, you can see nothing but flames. Look in front of you see nothing but blackness.  Thankfully she started yelling out to me and I was able to find her through all the smoke. At that point I grabbed her.  I just sort of threw her over my shoulder and dragged her through the kitchen.  I was hoping there was going to be a window on the front, It was on the second story, I thought we could potentially get out, but that's when I had a lot of clear thoughts about, 'How we're going to get out?' "I couldn't see anything but the flames coming out of the kitchen and I really had this moment where I thought, 'Okay. I think I'm trapped. I think we can't get out.'"

But he rushed through the flames and added, "Detective Rodriguez grabbed her as well and we got down the stairs and we both just collapsed outside the building."

Not gonna lie.  He just got real sexy....

Think Like A Man actress Gabrielle Union was spotted at The Grove yesterday having some fun in an interview with Mario Lopez for the show EXTRA. See the pics inside...

Gabby Union made her way to The Grove to promote her latest flick, Think Like a Man.  The gorgeous gal rocked jeans and a coral blazer over a white tee and green & blue shoes.

She recently said she enjoyed the cast and working with friend Regina Hall.  "When you have intimate knowledge of people, especially the awful relationship stuff, it tends to lend itself to humor. Regina Hall and I have been friends for a long time. She was around for my marriage folly, which is the nicest way I can describe some of my marriage [to ex-NFL player Chris Howard]. She's got a lot to joke about with me."

When asked about her experience with divorce, she told ESSENCE, "I think after divorce I've learned 1,001 lessons .You just have to be very clear about what you want and what you need. More than anything, my rule is to be incredibly honest."

Good advice.

Watch behind the scenes of her taping here:

Looks like "Basketball Wife" Evelyn Lozada is passing down her milkshake skills on how to bring the boys to the yard.  Because her daughter Shaniece was spotted out wining & dining with singer Sean Kingston last night in L.A.  He def has a type doesn't he?

Pics inside, plus Evelyn mixing up her very own Million of Milkshakes concoction...

22-year-old "Beautiful Girls" singer Sean Kingston looks like he's really moved on from stripper Maliah...to Evelyn's gorgeous 18-year-old daughter Shaniece Hairston.  Outside of Katsuya in L.A. last night, the two were spotted leaving dinner together, and Sean wasted no time tweeting about their date:

Sean tweeted the above pic of the two cuddled up over his cell phone and said, "Me and the beautiful @shanieceh at Katsuya living."

But since her mama Evelyn (and some other friends) was right there as well, not sure how much of a "date" this actually was:

But you never know....

Earlier in the evening, Eve stopped by Millions of Milkshakes to mix up her very own signature concoction:

Rocking a headpiece, pink blouse and matching pink sparkling Louboutins with a blue blazer, Evelyn whipped out her "Non Muthafu*kin Factor" milkshakes. 

That ought to be....interesting.  Eve, Shaniece & Sean Kingston later partied it up with Evelyn's favorite girl, Rihanna. 

But Evelyn still found time, in the midst of a long night, to throw shade at frenemy Jennifer Williams.  When one of her followers tweeted her a pic of Jen, who they had just spotted, in her "lame ass car," Evelyn responded with, "In her 2006 Bentley." 

Ouch...

The Carters shared some quality time last night as they chilled out at Skylight Studios for the Cartier Juste un Clou after-party.  Jay-Z's Roc Nation artist, Rita Ora, performed for the night.  And, of course, his wife Beyonce came along too.

Pics and video inside...

Rocking the same salmon sweater from earlier in the day when she was out and about with Blue, Beyonce made her way out on the scene to support her hubby's artist.

"Party & Bullshit" singer Rita Ora hit the stage for the Cartier event.  And recently appeared in a video for VEVO where it followed her & her band's creation of the acoustic version of one of her fave songs:

Nice voice.  Even though all these chicks look alike these days...

Rihanna was spotted jetting out of her fave restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles last night.  And decided to flip off the paparazzi in the meantime.  Somebody's no longer loving all the flashing lights and attention these days?  Interesting.

Pics inside of her partying with "Basketball Wife" Evelyn Lozada, plus the reviews of her Battleship movie are in....

Stepping out in black thigh highs and a yellow and black print dress with black and red heels, Rihanna made her way from the dinner table to the car looking anything but pleased to see the awaiting paparazzi. 

She recently told ELLE Magazine, in her May 2012 cover story, about hating being the center of attention when she's not on stage:

"I try to have a good time no matter where I go, but I always get mobbed.  I always feel like I'm the star. And I hate that feeling. It's like an out-of-body experience, like I'm looking in the mirror and I can see ever facial expression. Everything has to be calculated, because I feel everyone watching me. I want to enjoy my life and not think about it."

And if you're wondering why she stays in the clubs, she says:

"I love going to the club, because that's the one place that nobody's checking for me," she says. "Everybody in there is doing the same thing you're doing--dancing, listening to music, and having some drinks. They're too fucked up to care."

So what's a pop star to do when she's annoyed by the mobs of people?  Speak with her middle fingers.  Why so pissy Rih Rih?  Maybe it's also because her movie Battleship opened in the UK this week to SCATHING reviews.  Check out what Daily Mail had to say about it here.

But the night wasn't fully a bust.  Rih was spotted out partying with her admitted girl crush Evelyn Lozada (and the feeling is mutual based on Ev's Twitter timeline), Ev's daughter Shaniece & Sean Kingston:

I see the bottles of champagne were in full effect...

Jada Pinkett Smith has responded to rumors about marital woes with hubby Will Smith. Hear what she said about the status of her marriage inside....

Over the past few months, the Smiths have been rumored to be on the outs, but actress Jada Pinkett Smith flat out denies it all.

She told French magazine Gala recently abou why these rumors won't go away: "I have no idea! Every year, one celebrity couple is under the microscope. This year, unluckily, it's us! I almost want to say that we should have been expecting it.  Will and I know the truth. We're waiting peacefully for the storm to blow over."

And for folks who think the couple is living separate lives, she said,

"These rumors are completely untrue.  I travel a lot because of my work, just like Will does. ... But our lifestyle hasn't changed. Before we had the kids, we were already far away from each other quite often because of separate projects."

But do they still live together?  The answer is yes.  She added, "We've always lived together."

So....there you have it.  Right?

A man with mental issues broke into the East Hampton home of Diddy recently.  He was convinced that Diddy wouldn't mind if he crashed there so he made himself at home by eating the food, drinking the drink and wearing his clothes!  Deets inside....

Although Diddy constantly invites his fans to live the Ciroc lifestyle, one special fan took him up on that offer by breaking into Mr. Combs' East Hampton mansion and living the fab life for a few hours!

In a weird case, a man by the name of Quamine Taylor, 30, of Jamaica, Queens, is seriously convinced that he and Diddy are "cool."  So cool, that Diddy doesn't mind letting him crash at the mansion.  At least that's what he told police.

Quamine, who pulled the SAME STUNT ten years ago, said,  

“I’ve actually been going to the house from time to time since 2001. I stay there a lot, but Sean gets funny sometimes about me staying there,” he said from Suffolk County jail.

His mom added this claim,

“He grew up listening to [Diddy’s] music.  He has a long history of mental illness, and he has been off his meds for a while. We have been trying to get him some help.”

So how did this happen? Simple.  Quamine took a cab to Diddy's crib from the train station and managed to sneak around security and find an open basement door.  From there, he lived the Ciroc life.  

He rocked Diddy's clothes, ate his food and hit the liquor supply.  And when he tripped an alarm, he convinced security that he was Diddy's "friend" and was allowed to be there!

He was busted after a restful night when a caretaker found him.  He said,

“I got a good night’s sleep, but it’s not anything too special.  It’s just like a three bedroom.”

Yes indeed.  Dude was arraigned on trespassing and petit-larceny raps and is being held in lieu of $2,000 bail. 

Azealia Banks and Santigold both got cutesy for the May 2012 Women In Music issue of ELLE Magazine, which is covered by Rihanna.  See the other ladies' pics inside...

In the latest issue of ELLE Magazine, rapper and Karl Lagerfield's latest music muse, Azealia Banks, represents "Women In Music" in a custom latex dress by Boadicea Claridge and a wool matador hat by Moschino.  She told the mag, “...Fashion is arrogant. Selling beauty means convincing people that you have something they want.”

She also snapped at haters who comment on her success saying, “[They tell me I] just got famous on YouTube.  I’m like, ‘So? You didn’t get famous anywhere.’” 

Also.........

Santigold appears in the issue wearing a Viscose and cotton hoodie and cotton jeans, both by Alexander Wang.

She has a new disc called Master of My Make Believe where she sings a "‘Riot Song’] "...to those people who don’t give up and who have the courage to think for themselves and, like me, create their own reality.”

Looking good ladies!  The issue hits stands April 17th.

New pics have surfaced showing Beyonce & her 3-month-old daughter Blue Ivy sharing private uncovered moments during their St. Barts family vacay earlier this week.  The paparazzi caught the duo having some mommy-and-me time on vacay.

Check out the cute pics inside of Bey singing her baby girl to sleep, and FLOTUS rsponding to her letter...

While yachting it up around St. Barts earlier this week, B.I.C. finally felt the wind against her skin as she spent some free & private moments with Mama Bey:

Awww how precious!  Well, so much for the doll theory. 

Meanwhile, after Beyonce's heartfelt letter to First Lady Michelle Obama hit the net, today, Mrs. O herself tweeted a thank you response saying, "@Beyonce Thank you for the beautiful letter and for being a role model who kids everywhere can look up to. –mo."

Sweet.

Rapper The Game showed off his newest ink recently.  The tattoo lover tweeted pics of his brand new tattoos of his 3 kids' faces, all done by Kat von D.  Pics inside...

So he'll never forget what his kids--daughter Cali Dream and sons Harlem & King Justice--look like, Game tatted their faces on the outside of his leg.

He tweeted pics of tattoo artist Kat von D putting her skills to use:

Faces on body parts creep me out.  But I guess the sentiment is sweet.  He tweeted his version of a Rick Ross lyric:

“Tat my kids on me so you know it’s REAL!.  @TheKatVonD is the nicest tattoo artist PERIOD!!!”

Kat put together this video:

And said, "I was tattooing @thegame and everything was going smoothly until THIS happened...!"

And Game tweeted this pic today of him and his son in hoodies saying, “Me & my son rockin our hoodies this morning.. #TrayvonMartinRIP ... George Zimmerman... We got our eyes in you !!! #JusticeWillBeServed”

Well isn't that special....

Game is working on his new album F.I.V.E.: Fear Is Victory’s Evolution.

After Eddie George got caught during a DUI arrest with that blonde professional golfer, Rachel Conner, last month, SWV member Taj George hasn't even mentioned her husband's name.  Even though they previously exchanged Tweets often and would hit up events together, none of that has occured since that DUI.  And now, the couple just put their Bretwood, TN mansion on the market.

Deets inside...

Uh oh.  Even though Eddie George put out a statement following his arrest that nothing happened with him and Rachel Connor (he was suspiciously caught in the passenger seat of Rachel's car after she got pulled over for a DUI in Orlando), we still haven't heard a word from Taj about the matter.  But the fact she hasn't even spoken his name or done any interviews about their new relationship book speaks volumes.

Now, public records show that Taj & Eddie have put their beautiful Brentwood, TN custom mansion, which they've owned since 2007, on the market.  Does this mean a possible split is on the horizon?

The former Tennessee Titan and R&B singer, who have 2 sons together, seem to be trying to get rid of their almost 9,000 sqft 5 BR/6 Bathroom home quickly...listing it at a relatively low price of $1.099 million.

So what all comes with this home? Realtor.com reports:

The stone-lined, three-story home offers 8,558-square-feet of living space and features a total of five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The interior boasts hardwood flooring, vaulted ceilings and detailed molding, while a chef’s kitchen and study are lined with custom built-ins, cabinetry and other wood-lined touches. George’s home has two stairways, one in front and one in back of the property, and also an elevator that runs from the basement area to the attic. Other fine amenities befitting a star running back include a media room, rec room with a wet bar, a pair of laundry rooms and a pool. And let’s not forget the obligatory Ohio State room, complete with a scarlet and gray paint job and a giant Fathead wall graphic featuring the pride of Columbus, Brutus Buckeye.

Meanwhile, Taj is busy on tour with her SWV groupmates and prepping to drop their new album I Missed Us (now releasing April 17th).

A very pregnant Yandy Smith recently revealed her pregnant belly, and now she's showing it nude and also dished on her new projects including a move with Tami Roman.  Get the deets inside and see pics of Emily B's mom "made over" Amber Rose style.

Wonder who that other pair of hands belongs to.....

Yandy Smith recently posted an interview she did with her jewelry/magazine company Everything Girls Love where she dishes on the movie she signed on to produce (which stars Tami Roman) and her reality tv work.  She said her company produces "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" but that she is not involved with the cast as this is her break from reality tv.  

She then talked about landing her gig with Black Enterprise and how she hopes to turn that into a full time job.  Here are the highlights:

On her new film (with Tami Roman):

I'm producing a movie called Life Love Soul which is directed by Noel Calloway.    We've been running around crazy promoting the film.  For an independent film to have such a major release, that's really big.

On "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta":

Right now they're shooting Atlanta; which I hear is very good.  Our company produces it, but as far as the cast and everything, I'm not involved at all.  This is my break from reality TV, which I needed.

At the movies,

The poster for Yandy's film (which opens today) is shown above.

Also in television news.....

Reality star Emily B recently gave her mom a make over.  She tweeted,  “Everyone meet my beautiful Mami Diane…she said her new name is ‘Emerald Lily’”.”  And guess who she looks like.........

Yep...this is really Emily B's mom.  She revealed in season 2 that her mother is living with Stage 2 cancer.  So this was a way to lift her spirits to match her new look.  Sweet!

In Non-YBF News:

1.  Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt just confirmed (via Brad's manager) they are ENGAGED!  'Bout damn time.... STORY

Unfortunately, yet another member of the DeBarge family has been arrested for drug possession.  Get the deets on Mark's arrest inside.....

On Wednesday morning, according to TMZ, LA cops showed up to a hotel room in Hollywood occupied by Mark DeBarge and an unidentified woman. Because the woman was due for a visit from her parole officer, the cops had license to just drop by...and they did.

When they got to the room, they found Mark and the woman with a few unnamed narcotics.  Both were placed under arrest and Mark was booked for narcotics possession.  He has been released since then.

So sad to see talent wasted.....those DeBarges could SING!

Kandi Burruss stepped out with a new 'do last night--a head full of long braids. She first debuted them up in a bun for the Bravo Stars show recently.  Now she's letting them hang. See the pics inside.....

Star of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" Kandi Burruss celebrated her new Bravo series "The Kandi Factory" last night at the Gallery nightclub inside the Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. 

Though we usually see Kandi with short or mid-length hair, she opted for long skinny braids this time.

So.........

DO WE LOVE IT?

Since Beyonce opened her new Tumblr site over a week ago, she's added more pics for her fans to check out to get a glimpse into her personal life.

Check out a few of the new flicks inside...

After touring the world a few times over and vacaying and traveling with her hubby, Beyonce's sharing tons of flicks with her fans via her own personal site, including the one above with her cousin Angie:

Fab.  Bey recently supported her man as he watched his artist, Rita Ora, perform at the Cartier party at Skylight Soho.  Us Weekly sources on the scene reported that the twosome were every bit the cute couple:

"Beyonce was doing a little dance" to avoid being seen, the observer tells Us, adding that the singer's hubby "smoked a cigar" in their private section. "They were very sweet together . . . They seemed to really have fun!"

Another reveler says that the fresh-faced singer appeared more stunning -- and slimmer -- than ever. "She had on no make up, or very little," the observer said. "She looks unbelievable. She seems to be about a size 6 now.”

Alrighty then...

One of Australia's biggest 2-weekend music festivals, Supafest, held in 4 of its major cities kicked off today.  Chris Brown, Kelly Rowland, Trey Songz & more kicked off the fest today in Brisbane at the RNA Showgrounds.

Pics and video inside, plus Frank Ocean holding it down at Coachella's opening day...

On the bill in Brisbane today (and tomorrow in Sydney) is Kelly Rowland (pictured above performing today), Trey Songz, Chris Brown, T-Pain, Naughty By Nature, Lupe Fiasco, Ludacris, Big Sean & Ice Cube.  Rick Ross was also on the line-up, but ticket holders were sent a text message yesterday saying he "failed" to enter Australia and his performances have been cancelled.

Supafest's PR company said:

“Rick Ross has been paid in full and contracted, but failed to show up in Brisbane this morning with no reason from management and no official cancellation or word from his management. The promoter has been calling them all morning trying to find out why and to see if he will get on the plane for the final two shows.”

And Ricky was surely spotted courtside at the Miami Heat game last night with Swizz Beatz.  Maybe there's truth to those third seizure rumors afterall.

After some drama with the promoters and contracts, Missy Elliot & Diddy's performances have been cancelled.

Chris Brown & Trey were also spotted hitting the stage to perform.

Check out video of the celebrity arrivals at the airport with a group of stan-girls losing their minds:

Ha!

Odd Future's crooner Frank Ocean kicked off the opening day of Coachella out in Cali. The New Orleans native took the stage around 8:30p in the Gobi Tent, and even brought his bro Tyler The Creator out for "Analog 2" (14 minute mark below).

Mr. Ocean had a 6 piece band to help him perform his crowd fave tracks like "Novacane (28:50 mark)," "Thinking About Forever (3:25 mark)," "Swim Good" and more. Check out his full 37-minute set below:

"Basketball Wives" star Royce Reed may seem drama free this season, but she hopes to change all that and let folks know that her baby's father, Dwight Howard, has low morals and seems a little "touched." Deets inside.....

Royce Reed is desperately trying to lift the gag order Dwight Howard put on her during their onging custody battle.   The "BBW" star filed court docs seeking to lift the ban so she can talk about their drama (on camera of course) and show folks who Dwight really is off the court.

So what might we learn about Dwight?  Well for starters, according to TMZ's source, Royce wants to say she thinks Dwight is a little "special" in the mental department.  She might also talk about his parenting skills and question his moral caliber.

And then, of course, there might be talk of funny substances lying around the house.  Hmmm.....am I selfish to start the "GET THE BAN LIFTED" chant in support of Royce just so I can sip that spilled tea?  Just askin'....

The Randomness:

1.  Actress Cherie Johnson is waiting tables....at her OWN restaurant!  Story.

Chris Brown brought his girlfriend (and supposed wardrobe styling assistant) Karrueche down under to Australia with him this weekend.  As Chris hit the stage for SUPAFEST in both Brisbane and Sydney, the couple found some down time to do a little shopping.

Pics and video inside...

Twitpics have surfaced of Chris Brown and Kae (rocking an even shorter blonde bob) spending some QT around the cities of Sydney & Brisbane, Australia.  The twosome shopped and grabbed some ice cream before it was time for Chris to take the stage:

Chris also Instagram'd these pics himself right before his concerts:

Check out video of Breezy on night 1 in Brisbane performing "Look At Me Now," "Wall To Wall," his verse on Rihanna's "Cake Remix," "Yeah 3x" and more:

Chris is set to roll into 2 more Australian cities next weekend to wrap up Supafest.  He tweeted:

Brisbane and Sydney supafest was incredible! Next up Melbourne and Perth!

Nice.

Cassie's prepping for her big return to "106 & Park" next week.  So she was spotted grabbing a sandwich...and a cig...before rehearsals in L.A.  Pics, plus Jennifer Hudson heading to the mall, inside...

Seems like somebody may have a little case of the nerves.  On April 23rd, Cassie will return to the same live stage that almost ruined her whole "career" back in 2006 when she gave a far less than stellar performance of "Me & U".  And yesterday, the pretty model was spotted out in L.A. gearing up for rehearsals...cigarette and Subway sandwich in hand:

Oh Cass...those Ciggies will not do anything good for your voice.  And we all know you can't afford for anything else to make that voice sound...the way it does.

Loving the black and green Celine bag though.

Elsewhere in Cali:

Jennifer Hudson was spotted making a quick shopping trip to the Westfield Century City Mall in Los Angeles yesterday.

She rocked an interesting look of cut off shorts and printed stockings and a black sweater and hat for the occasion.  Very L.A.  Jenny recently returned to the "American Idol" stage to perform her "Think Like A Man" track with Ne-Yo.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell was spotted sharing big wet kisses with her billionaire boyfriend Vladislav Doronin. See their sexy beach pics inside....

Naomi enjoyed a work out with her trainer and boyfriend Vladislav Doronin while on vacation in Miami yesterday.

Then......the happy couple rewarded themselves with a dip in the ocean and got a little romantic.   

Looks like Naomi isn't letting her boyfriend's wife ruin her party.
